In Geisha, a Life, Mineko Iwasaki tells her story, from her warm early childhood, to her intense yet privileged upbringing in the Iwasaki okiya (household), to her years as a renowned geisha, and finally, to her decision at the age of 29 to retire and marry, a move that would mirror the demise of geisha culture. Mineko brings to life the beauty and wonder of Gion Kobu, a place that "existed in a world apart, a special realm whose mission and identity depended on preserving the time-honored traditions of the past."

Amazing, couldn't stop listening
There's so much more here than in the movie. So much more history and character motivation, and it answers questions about what happened to her afterwards. I truly enjoyed this. Other reviews said the narrator was monotone and hard to follow, and I do not agree at all. I will definitely listen to this again.

An incredible story, narrator not ideal.
Memoirs of a Geisha was a mesmerizing read, with stories rich in description and an authors voice that was both unique and telling. Unfortunately, the narrator chosen for this audiobook was monotone - basically more robotic than fluid. It was difficult to remain interested when the novel itself was captivating. #Audible1
I was able to finish the audiobook, but unfortunately I was disappointed in the overall performance.

What a beautiful story told, only to have it destroyed by the narration. I love this book but I won’t listen to it again.

Book VS movie.
I used to love the movie but now that I have listened to the book it doesn’t even compare. The book is so much better. I can’t believe how much they left out.
