Jade Lady Burning by Martin Limón

5.0

The first and the best of the series. The others in the series are good but can't match the intensity, freshness and longing of this one. By longing, I mean you can feel the author's longing for the Korea of this era when he was stationed there. I'm a Korean-American who has lived a total of 19 years in Korea and I assure you the author absolutely nails the atmosphere of Korea at that time as seen from a perceptive American GI. It is a work of love and a masterpiece.
