In a voice both haunting and startlingly immediate, Nitta Sayuri describes her life as a geisha. Taken from her home at the age of nine, she is sold into slavery to a renowned geisha house. Witness her transformation as you enter a world where appearances are paramount, virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder, women beguile powerful men, and love is scorned as illusion.

I found sort of tone deaf so far as class and gender issues are concerned. And I wasn’t sure why we needed A westerner to tell it. Also the memoir ends just as the geisha figures out how to become princess cinderella

One of the greatest of French novelists, Balzac, trained as a lawyer, was a great judge of human nature. In 1833 he conceived the idea of linking together his novels so that they would comprehend the whole society in a series of books. This plan eventually led to 90 novels and novellas (including more than 2,000 characters) that he called "The Human Comedy". Balzac's huge and ambitious plan drew a picture of the customs, atmosphere, and habits of the bourgeois France.

Reader like a fairly literate grandpa

This is an old books on tape reading with a very rough and ready fellow reading without rehearsal and often at cross purposes to a character's sentiments. One actually hears him slowing down when encountering difficult passages. In the final scene, when the eponymous character is raving in agony and psychological turmoil, the reader performs as though Goriot were a shopkeeper who had been asked his opinion about the most recent recession. The story is good, but the translation is so wooden that the characters read like emotionally challenged robots.
