Memoirs of a Giesha an Amazing Challenge.

The book I had been recently reading is Memoirs of a Giesha. I think this book is great. I love how the author wrote the book. I like how this book is a challenge. I learn new difficult words along the way. Another reason i really enjoy this book is because it has another culture I am not familiar with but throughout the book i learn more about it. I noticed there are alot of life lessons in this book. The book I just finished reading was The Missing Girl. The biggest connection between this book is that Chiyo wants to escape the okiya and Autum wants to escape the man's house.
