  <default_description>Nora Okja Keller, the acclaimed author of &lt;i&gt;Comfort Woman&lt;/i&gt;, tells the shocking story of a group of young people abandoned after the Korean War. At the center of the tale are two teenage girls-Hyun Jin and Sookie, a teenage prostitute kept by an American soldier-who form a makeshift family with Lobetto, a lost boy who scrapes together a living running errands and pimping for neighborhood girls. Both horrifying and moving, &lt;i&gt;Fox Girl&lt;/i&gt; at once reveals another layer of war's human detritus and the fierce love between a mother and daughter.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[After living in Korea for almost 2 years I thought I should read this book.  I must say I wasn't happy with that decision until the very end.<br/>This book shows a very different view of Korea right after the &quot;end&quot; of the Korean War and how American's GIs treated the locals.

It also examines the lives of poor women and children, who feel they have no alternative to prostitution.
