The Picture Bride by Lee Geum-yi

4.0

A moving multigenerational family drama following a Korean 'paper bride' who travels to Hawaii to wed a man not really looking for a wife. Willow's journey is incredibly brave and admirable as she fights for the life she's dreamed of, one of education, motherhood and love. Perfect for fans of Peach blossom spring or Pachinko. I really enjoyed learning about the Korean American immigrant experience in Hawaii during the mid-20th century - it's not a place/time period t hat I've read about much in fiction and I found this book incredibly well written and interesting! Great on audio too narrated by Joy Osmanski! Much thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital audio copy in exchange for my honest review!
