Es un libro que me rompió el corazón y me la pasé indignada todo el tiempo. Leer los detalles de los crímenes de guerra del imperio japonés fue sumamente doloroso. 
Viendo el lado positivo me permitió investigar sobre la historia de un país lejano. La historia de Corea ha estado llena de guerras y dolor pero como dice la autora es necesario conocer el pasado para no volver a cometer los mismos errores y honrar a las victimas. Mi corazón llora por todas las mujeres consuelo.
