Den mest oppslukende boken jeg har lest på lenge. Så fremmed og kjent på samme tid. Oppsiktsvekkende opplæring om samfunn og historie.

Det var interessant og få lære seg mer om koreansk historie og kultur, samt Japan. Men boken handlede for mye om sex for min smak

Godt skrevet bok. Engasjerende og spennende. Den får imidlertid 4 stjerner da jeg synes den hadde en del løse tråder.

Lærerikt om koreansk kultur og historie. Fint å få følge en koreansk familie gjennom generasjoner. Det er noen ganger litt vanskelig å holde styr på de mange koreanske/japanske navnene. God innleser.
