About This Book
"This novel is the story of my grandmother."
A new milestone in K-Diaspora literature based on true events,
the author found the inspiration for this novel in her grandmother's youth, a period she had kept tightly hidden even from her family. She wove a fantastical story by blending reality, imagination, and her own experiences as an immigrant to the United States with the history of her grandmother—who moved to Japan during the Japanese colonial period in the 1930s, became a nurse and midwife as a Zainichi Korean, and escaped across the sea during the war. Thanks to this, the novel vividly captures the diverse layers of the era and the characters. Not only are dreams and loves that change day by day in line with an era where women's rights were growing persuasively portrayed, but the process of a micro-human grappling with how selfishly or altruistically to shape their life within a macro-historical context unfolds like a panorama. As you read the novel, you will be compelled to ask yourself: How did we, living in those times, live? As individuals, can we guarantee a life more honorable than this? Viewed from the perspective of human survival, regardless of history or war, Miyoung's life makes the reader laugh and cry at times, and ultimately leaves them humble.
