A review by lllkilli
Palimpsest by Lisa Wool-Rim Sjöblom

5.0

memoir of a Korean woman adopted by Swedish parents and her emotional journey to meet her birth parents/uncover her roots in a graphic novel format. Very emotional without being preachy or whiney. She clearly articulates her disconnect from the culture of her adopted parents and her dismay at the constant barrage of 'you should be so grateful to these people who rescued you'. I have no similar experience, nor do I know anyone who does, so she is my first real introduction to this subject.

fantastic book for that alone, then there is the whole illegal human trafficking, baby trade thing...
