This graphic novel lays out the heartbreaking truth of the “Comfort Women” who were forced sexual slaves of the Japanese during WWII. This is the first book I’ve read on the subject, and I appreciated hearing the struggles and brutal reality of what life was like for these women. My heart hurt for Granny Lee OK-sun after hearing how she was sold as a child and later stolen off the streets of her village and forced into this slavery.
