4.5

I was so moved by this book, and learned so many things - about Korea, schizophrenia, US imperialism. I wish more memoirs like this came out more often, but the truth is, that is likely impossible, because the singular honesty and carefulness with which Cho crafted her story isn't something that just rolls off people easily. Heartily recommend, and I will totally be finding ways to weave this into my teaching and recommendations.
