Multi-generational saga that follows Sunja and her family through the decades of life in Japan. I have a bit of soft place for the patient, unshowy and kind storytelling that goes with some of the books set in that part of Asia.
What stayed with me was the dire situation of Koreans in Japan. It's piece of history I knew a bit about, but it was only this book that got it really under my skin.
Unfortunately the last third of the book dragged a bit.
