The Picture Bride by Lee Geum-yi

4.0

Overall, a very fascinating look at a unique time in history. Lee does an excellent job of exploring the type of personality a picture bride might've had, and she also provides some interesting insight into things like the Korean independence movement. I did find the ending chapters, told from the viewpoint of the daughter, to be a little abrupt and unnecessary, but the poorly paced plot didn't keep me from enjoying this book.
