Daughters of the Dragon: A Comfort Woman's Story by William Andrews
4.0
I couldn't put this book down and got through it quickly. It was gripping, tragic and infuriating in equal measure. Before reading this book I had never heard of comfort women, the author approached this subject matter respectfully and helped to illuminate a dark time in history for which these women, who have had so much taken from them, have yet to receive any real justice.
The only negatives I can think of are regarding the character Anna. I'm in agreement with other reviewers, she didn't add very much to the story as she was underdeveloped and I just couldn't connect with her at all. The pace of the book picked up rapidly in the final third which I also found a slightly jarring.
This was a worthy read, I'm glad I encountered it and will be reading the next book in the series shortly.
