Some passages are humorous, and others are painfully sad.but the author infuses the entire work with hope and forgiveness. ![]() I read this book in one sitting, mailed it to one of my sisters, and have bought a copy for another sister. Small details and major characters both help to build an accurate, emotional depiction of Koreans and the struggle to live during the brutal Japanese occupation of World War II.
