Picked it up to read as I had had it for years and never opened it. I was instantly hooked and could not put it down. I found it so interesting and it taught me a lot about Korean and Japanese history, which I was very unfamiliar with. It left me wanting more. I felt like I knew this family and I just wanted to hear about all their experiences.
