White Mulberry
by Rosa Kwon Easton
White Mulberry is the story of a Korean woman who moves to Japan for a (better?) life.
The writing is easy with a definite flow that makes the reading process effortless. The characters are dealt with in an appropriate manner, not leaving much to be desired. The author pays significant attention to both Korean and Japanese cultures with due respect while also tackling issues of racism, colonialism & patriarchy. The mission statement, though very broad, delivers justice to what it set out to achieve easily. The initial budding romance sub plot was supercute as well!
The only thing this book lacked was good editing. In some places, it tends to repeat itself & drag on.
Overall, the experience with this one was actually pretty good!
