The book is capturing and takes you on a journey across generations thorough the lives of Koreans but in occupied Korea and across the diaspora and their journey with Japanese colonialism.
It can be triggering for sure, but it is bracing and unflinching about the realities of colonized people and the social, legal and class hurdles they face.
