Review: Memoirs of a Geisha

Memoirs of a GeishaMemoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I found long stretches of this story were there to relate historical research by the author, not necessarily to advance the story. At times it read like a Wikipedia article. The story was fine and memorable, but I'd have liked it more if it didn't feel like I was getting a lesson.
