relied on god to give her blue eyes, so that she could transform and become something she is not.Toni Morrison is a very well known black writer who wrote The Bluest Eye purely from her own experiences, this is most likely why her book was so realistic. Golden rather writes from some one elses experiences. With an elderly ladies story and a good knowledge of Japanese history he was able to rewrite this ladies story in to a book that has beautiful language and is easy to read. Memoirs of a geisha I feel would be suited to people who have a general interest in Japanese history or auto biographies The bluest eye on the other hand is very graphic at some times which may not be suitable to people who are not interested in violence etc. The book though gives you a real image of what happened and perhaps still happens in a poor black community. Racism and prejudice is really brought out in this book and leaves you thinking why god made us all different if it causes so much pain and hatred....
