Had trouble sticking with this book. I found the style very simplistic and the narrator made it worse by sounding like she was telling a story to children. I persevered to see it if would get more interesting but it didn’t. I did get an insight into the plight of Koreans in Japan and some of the customs there that was the only interesting part. Too soapy for me.

Me gustaron las voces y las generaciones históricas. Un buen punto de vista sobre la cultura asiática.
