Haunting and deeply sad inspired by true events. Not particularly well written but not awfully so, the modern day part was weak. It seemed well researched (?), but I felt uncomfortable reading this deeply personal, emotional and graphically violent story that affected Korean women, written by a white American man. I feel that stories like this should be written by the people who experienced them or were affected by these events. The author seems well intentioned but I'm not sure it was his story to tell.
