Loved this story of Korean immigrants in Japan. I always enjoy when a work of historical fiction helps me understand a time and place I was unfamiliar with, and this is one of those perfect examples. This is why stories are important and need to be told. The one criticism I have is that it seemed to be a little disjointed in the end...she was trying to tell too many different stories and could have just honed in on a few.

Beautifully written. I felt it wandered at times and perhaps their were a couple of unnecessary characters, but overall very glad I read it.

I really enjoyed this multi-generational saga about a family of Korean descent in Japan. The writing is excellent, and it’s a topic I knew nothing about.
