Autobiography of a Geisha | 
pickSecond book of my geisha kick. Sanyo Masuda grew up a poor farmer's daughter that was sold into a geisha house of a hot springs resort. Here we take a look at the lower level geisha that became more like indentured servants and prostitutes as she struggled with depression, tragedy and battled alcoholism. A stark contrast to the romanticized ideal featured in Memoirs of a Geisha.
1. I actually don't drink 😅
2. Books based on covers 📙
3. Forest 🌳
4. That's a tough one...probably realistic!
5. Elizabeth Bennet 💙

This #autobiography was written in the 1950s and recounts the author's coming-of-age after she was sold at the age of twelve to a geisha house. It's a "Memoirs of a (Real) Geisha" and a look at the social history of pre-World War II Japan. #ReadJanuary
