Historical fiction based on author's grandmother and tells story of Korean experience living in Japan pre-WW2.  Time and period not often explored.

This story is a very interesting reflection of identity in a troubled world -- and has plenty of parallels in our current world. I believe it is an important story and concept that should be shared, but after reading the author's note about how the main character is based on her grandmother, who did not want her story shared, I can't bring myself to recommend this book.
