Daughters of the Dragon: A Comfort Woman's Story by William Andrews
5.0
I grabbed this book with some restrains, Caucasian English Male talking through the voice of a Korean Repressed and Abused Female. I didn't quite buy it.
Bill Andrews shut my mouth big time. He doesn't try to understand the female mind, he just goes through by talking about the "facts" and not trying to explain the in depth feelings of the protagonist. I loved this, he let me the struggle of trying to know what I would have felt in that situation and explore it by myself.
Also, he finishes the book by talking a bit of history as well, explaining the true facts about this comfort woman and how they are still marching every Wednesday for the acknowledge of what happened to them, still shut. Still not recognized by Japanese government.
I recommend this book (I recommend it so much I already talked to friends and family as to urge them to read it).
