Hi! Sorry to lurk, but followed a link to yr journal from proletarianized's and noticed you mentioned Memoirs of a Geisha. I think it's a stunning, brilliant novel right up to the final chapter, where it suddenly pulls the kind of "plot twist" unacceptable to regular human beings.

You know the "I knew it all along and chose not to let on, allowing both myself and you to suffer for years rather than be happy" kind of plot twist?

Bingo.

So be prepared for the ending to suck hugely; otherwise, it's an utterly compelling book and boasts some fantastic insights into the era and the culture.
