When I got to the end of this book, I thought "Wow" this is a book that will linger with me for a long time. I am a fan of historical fiction, especially when I learn about something that I hadn't previously been familiar with. Although I knew a certain amount about Japan's colonial relationship with Korea, I was pretty vague about the Korean war itself. To see it portrayed from these women's experiences was illuminating and very moving. The writing itself was beautiful, and I often found myself wanting to highlight various passages. This will be an excellent choice for book clubs. I highly recommend this book, and I'm eager to listen to the audio version when it's released. However, it's likely that it best appreciated by starting with the written version first.
