Um, people, this book is not in German. It is in French. Don't buy this expecting either the English version or the German version.

EDIT///

I just realized that Amazon considers Die Geisha (German) and Geisha (French) to be the same book, so the reviews show up below both books. Beware, make sure you get the correct language.

Fantastic book. It was intriguing to read about the changes women had to go through and still do: beauty, virginity, puberty, womanhood... I finished this book in two days because of the emotion and description poured into this books writing. The metaphors and writing style were excellent. I felt like I knew the characters at the end of the book and found by self cheering for the little girl who grew up to hold her own, not only mentally but physically and emoptionally.

I had no prior knowledge about Geisha before this book, and now I can't read enough about thier interesting lives and stories. Aurthur Golden is one of the best authors I have ever read.

How fabulous to be the first reviewer just because I've gone with the European version! You can see over a thousand reviews on the same book if you spell memoires with only one 'e'. I liked this book very much but I was deceived into thinking it was a biography, when of course it's pure fiction. I think a lot of its success comes from that deception.
