ramreadsagain's review against another edition
This felt too much like trauma porn to me, with the rape scenes the only things that are written with any detail. William Andrews you do not need to specify how big the penis is when you’re writing about women being raped.
Aside from that I just wasn’t enjoying it, it felt badly written and there didn’t seem to be any character development.
I will read more about the topic of comfort women from non-fiction sources.
