Palimpsest by Lisa Wool-Rim Sjöblom
5.0
Lisa was adopted from Korea in the 1970s. Like many adoptees, she questions her origins and biological family, especially when she becomes a mother. When she decides to delve deeper into her history, she discovers it's far more complex than she thought. Lisa struggles to unravel the truth amid lies, contradictions, and secrets.
While the story is personal, it incorporates research and the stories of other adoptees. The noble image of adoption is deconstructed in "Palimpsest," which reveals the corruption within the international adoption industry. It's crucial to hear the voices of adoptees who are often silenced because their stories don't align with the international adoption narrative.
