This book is so informative. I knew nothing of how Korea split nor their involvement in WWI or WWII.
I loved the fact you follow generations of the same family. The trauma they all suffer broke my heart.
It's a hell of a book. It made me smile and made me cry.
There isn't more I can say about it without spoiling more. It's worth the read.
