When My Name Was Keoko by Linda Sue Park

5.0

---

I read this quickly after ducking into a bookshop in Gangnam, because I had a bunch of time to kill before meeting up with my friends. It was brilliant and I had to sit there, in that fancy bookshop filled with people, and pretend I wasn't crying my eyes out. This was a profound and beautiful portrayal of something we don't focus enough on globally. 10/10 would read again and recommend to strangers on the street.
