Synopsis
Memoirs' tells a captivating second story between the exquisitely crafted lines of the central tale. Themes of survival and ambition, of exploitation and renewal filter through this parallel narrative into the reader's consciousness....If Golden had 'only' told Sayuri's life story, [it] would have been a beautifully detailed but time-locked novel. By creating a subtext with larger themes..., Golden endows the book with powerful resonance for any time or culture.
