The Calligrapher's Daughter by Eugenia Kim

4.0

this is the story of najin han. a young woman that grows up in korea during the japanese occupation. her story begins near the turn of the century and takes us up to WWII. najin has a traditional father, but a mother that allows her some freedom, especially the freedom to determine her marriage partner. najin is educated and becomes a teacher and trained as a midwife. this is a piece of history with which i am not familiar so i found it interesting.
