Calligrapher's Daughter

The Calligrapher's Daughter | Eugenia Kim

pick

I knew nothing of Japan's occupation of Korea during the early 1900s--the radical change it had on government, culture, and, of course, the well-being of Korean citizens. The story is of a girl growing up in a time when not only her life choices but her personality are limited by her gender. She has many struggles, but my favorites are her internal battles of faith and strong character. Well-written characters, relationships, and culture.

Fish collars (hamachi kama) and this book that I‘ve been dipping into for a few weeks now. It‘s a fascinating account of the Japanese occupation of Korea, told from the perspective of a young girl who is sent to the royal court to serve the princess

so-so

I watched the film The Last Princess and I am reading this amazing book with one of the characters as this princess. A good recommend for both this novel and a better recommendationfor the film The Last Princess.
