#StoryGraph: fiction historical challenging emotional sad fast-paced
320 pages | first published 2018
Suspenseful, hopeful, and ultimately redemptive, White Chrysanthemum tells a story of two sisters whose love for each other is strong enough to triumph over the grim evils of war.
Korea 1943: Hana, a Korean sea diver, has lived her entire life under Japanese occupation, enjoying an independence that few other Koreans can claim. But when she saves her little sister from a Japanese soldier, she is transported to Manchuria and forced to become a “comfort woman”.
South Korea 2011: Emi has spent more than sixty years trying to forget the sacrifice her sister made, but she must confront the past to discover peace.
