This author of Korean descent explores the enduring impact of wartime and postwar events on women's lives. Her work delves deeply into the historical context of "comfort women," women forced into sexual servitude during Japan's occupation of Korea. Through evocative storytelling, she uncovers the resilience and strength of women confronting trauma and seeking their place in the world.

Spannend und hoffnungsvoll erzählt die Geschichte von Hana, einer Haenyeo, die 1943 ihre Schwester Emi rettet, indem sie sich selbst opfert und von japanischen Soldaten entführt wird. Im Jahr 2011 muss Emi sich ihrer Vergangenheit stellen, um Frieden zu finden und vielleicht zu verzeihen.
