Memoirs of a Gheisha

The author starts off with an author's note saying that the book is a true story and ends with acknowledgement saying that it is a work of fiction.
All through out the five hundred pages, the thrill of imagining everything actually happening suddenly seemed hollow.
The book was fun, non dramatic for fiction, detailed, riveting.
Must read but remember, it is fictitious.

The book isnt fiction. Its a true story but the names are fictitious. Try Geisha, A Life by Mineko Iwasaki - Memoirs of a geisha was loosely based on her story.
