A literary sensation and runaway bestseller, this brilliant debut novel tells with seamless authenticity and exquisite lyricism the true confessions of one of Japan's most celebrated geisha. Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read Speaking to us with the wisdom of age and in a voice at once haunting and startlingly immediate, Nitta Sayuri tells the story of her life as a geisha. It begins in a poor fishing village in 1929, when, as a nine-year-old girl with unusual blue-gray eyes, she is taken from her home and sold into slavery to a renowned geisha house. We witness her transformation as she learns the rigorous arts of the geisha: dance and music; wearing kimono, elaborate makeup, and hair; pouring sake to reveal just a touch of inner wrist; competing with a jealous rival for men's solicitude and the money that goes with it. In Memoirs of a Geisha, we enter a world where appearances are paramount; where a girl's virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder; where women are trained to beguile the most powerful men; and where love is scorned as illusion. It is a unique and triumphant work of fiction--at once romantic, erotic, suspenseful--and completely unforgettable.Binding Type: Paperback

Pretty but screws are the wrong size
Size: 12 Inch, Color: Black, Size: 12 Inch, Color: Black
I definitely like the look of my shelves with these brackets, but be careful with the provided anchors and screws. The big anchors that you screw into the wall - if they aren’t perfectly flat the bracket will wiggle. Also, the screws and anchors aren’t compatible so you either need to buy smaller anchors or bigger screws so will hold tight. Unfortunately we installed half before figuring that out, so I ended up getting some small L brackets for each side so my shelves would be stable.

Great Product

We needed extra storage options in a very small space. These brackets are good quality, several anchor options were included and they look great. These are 8 in. brackets and wooden boards are 8 in. wide and we cut to desired length.
