Memoirs of a Geisha

I am a junkie of Asian history and stories. I loved this. I don't know how realistic this is but it definitely was an interesting description of a world and society that no longer exists. And yes, there was love larger than life as well as assholes and a mentor. All elements that you get in sooooooooooo many coming of age stories or “bildungsroman”..But I warmed to this one despite all it's cliches. The ending was emotional and really crowned the book. 5/5
