She is adopted at a young age by a family who run an okiya, the traditional place where geisha live and train.

The novel, told in first person perspective, tells the story of a fictional geisha working in Kyoto, Japan, before and after World War II. I'd like to read this book on Kindle. And though the story is rich with detail and a vast knowledge of history, it is the transparent, seductive voice of Sayuri that the reader remembers. It transports the reader into a by-gone era where young girls are sold to be raised as geisha, and where their virginity is sold to the highest bidder.
