A review by valancy48
The Picture Bride by Lee Geum-yi

4.5

this book was just a pleasure to read. i fell in love with willow's character and really enjoyed following her journey to america and beyond. and seeing her relationship with her husband change was so sweet but also bittersweet with how things turned out. but again i really enjoyed reading abt this time in history and about these characters, seeing the perspective of a korean immigrant in the early 1900s. willow was very empowering and her story teaches a lesson


spoiler: i was taken aback at the sudden time skip and change at pov at the end, however, it was eloquently handled and i felt like it eventually tied in smhow, but still, i was sad to leave willow's story so suddenly. the end is very poignantly ended however
