Living in South Korea for a short time and with military experiences, this book provided “local” perspective and historic context in a fictional way to many things accurate about my experiences. Sad but eye opening. Hope thing improve and this book provides perspective to those unfamiliarly with some of the “influences” American culture has forced on other countries impacted.

#Day30 #AugustPhotoChallenge #augustbookhaul Since I've already shown other books acquired in August, thought I'd share my last haul of the month from the big sale at my local library. I wasn't going to go but couldn't resist & gave myself a $5 budget. This stack came in at $4. Not too shabby for 12 books. Many of these have been on my #TBR list for a while-now it's just finding time to read them & deciding what to read first 📚📚 #AugustofPages
