A review by lakeh
Palimpsest: Documents from a Korean Adoption by Lisa Wool-Rim Sjöblom

dark emotional informative sad fast-paced

5.0

Incredibly written and very accessible. I picked this book up and didn't stop until I finished it. 

Lisa Wool-Rim Sjöblom illustrates her traumatizing journey of trying to find her biological parents and all the hurdles she and her support had to jump through. Immediately after I finished reading, I looked up more about the issue and found that there were 200,000 South Korean children who were adopted out of the country by falsifying legal documents. 

Very grateful to the review of a romance novel that made me look into this book and request it.
