Beautiful Book.
Just finished it and am in tears. Such a beautiful story that’s heartbreaking at times but keeps you wanting to move forward, embodying Sunja herself. This book taught me so much history, background, and culture that I was never taught in my American history classes. It’s a tale of the ancestral thread, generational trauma, yet a strong hope for the future. It tackles love in many different ways: romantic, familial, and complicated. I enjoyed this book for so many reasons. I recommend reading to understand more about the relationship between Korea and Japan, and the lives of those who endured times of hardship and rebuilding.
