(Holt, $26)
In a perfect blend of the personal and political, Kim has written a story based on her mother’s efforts to gain an education during a period when Korea chafed under cruel Japanese occupation. In the final chapters we witness the changes from a static and highly structured culture to one of increasing modernity.
