A hard-working attorney at a large Manhattan law firm and a diligent maid of honor to her charmed best friend Darcy, Rachel has always played by all the rules. Since grade school, she has watched Darcy shine, quietly accepting the sidekick role in their lopsided friendship.

As the wedding date draws near, events spiral out of control, and Rachel knows she must make a choice between her heart and conscience.

In 1929, nine-year-old Sayuri is sold to an okiya in Kyoto by her desperate father, where she is slated to be trained as a geisha. The intensive courses require her to learn how to dance, play a musical instrument, gracefully wear the heavy, layered costumes, apply elaborate makeup, and, most especially, beguile powerful men. Initially stymied by the jealous, vindictive Hatsumomo, the okiya&#39;s top earner, Sayuri is eventually taken under the wing of one of Hatsumomo&#39;s chief rivals, Mameha. She proves to be such an astute businesswoman that her campaign to make Sayuri a success results in Sayuri&#39;s setting a new record when two wealthy men get into a bidding war over who will be the one to claim her virginity. &quot;<br /> <br /> If you like <a href="https://librarypoint.bibliocommons.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;t=smart&amp;search_category=keyword&amp;q=memoirs+of+a+geisha+arthur+golden&amp;commit=Search">Memoirs of a Geisha</a> by Arthur Golden, you may likese these selections:&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://librarypoint.bibliocommons.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;t=smart&amp;search_category=keyword&amp;q=across+the+nightingale+floor&amp;commit=Search"><img align="left" alt="" border="0" height="100" hspace="4" src="/sites/librarypoint.org/files/images/across_nightingale_floor.jpg" vspace="2" width="66" />Across the Nightingale Floor</a> by Lian Hearn<br /> Set in an imaginary, ancient Japanese society dominated by warring clans, Across the Nightingale Floor is a story of a boy who is suddenly plucked from his life in a remote and peaceful village to find himself a pawn in a political scheme, filled with treacherous warlords, rivalry-and the intensity of first love.

It ends with a call on your cell phone. What happens on the afternoon of October 1 came to be known as the Pulse, a signal sent though every operating cell phone that turns its user into something...well, something less than human. Savage, murderous, unthinking-and on a wanton rampage. Terrorist act? Cyber prank gone haywire? It really doesn&#39;t matter, not to the people who avoided the technological attack. What matters to them is surviving the aftermath. Before long a band of them-&quot;normies&quot; is how they think of themselves-have gathered on the grounds of Gaiten Academy, where the headmaster and one remaining student have something awesome and terrifying to show them on the school&#39;s moonlit soccer field.
