While I found the author’s writing style engaging and enjoyable, I struggled to connect with the main character, Miyoung, on a deeper level. 

I am by no means an expert of Japanese history, but some historical details, such as the mention of high-speed trains, left me questioning their accuracy in the context of 1930s Japan.

I also feel unsatisfied with the story’s abrupt ending, which left me with more unresolved questions.

A story of hope and aspiration in difficult circumstances. The author's love and admiration of her grandmother shines throughout the book.
