I did like the book but the ending did not have enough information after the whole book described the acts of actually being a Geisha as it left me wanting more about the facts in New York and then end of her life.

I am extreamely critical of books which proudly proclaim, "New York Bestseller List for over a year!" I find book like that are usually high over-rated anyway. So you can imagine my surprise and delight to find that "Memoirs of a Geisha" deserves every single week it spent on the Bestseller's List. Golden writes in a wonderful woman's voice so much so one can't hardly believe that the story is NOT something a geisha had dictated. Sayuri makes a wonderful modern heroine, and the story holds you captive from the very first page. Golden's prose is alluring and whimsical and he succeeds in capturing the essence of the Japanese language in English in ways never thought possible.
Fearless, gripping, at once darkly funny and tender, spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story set in today's globalized world.
The story of an American family, middle class in middle America, ordinary in every way but one. But that exception is the beating heart of this extraordinary novel.
