Description
This "is the fictional story of Gwija, told by her novelist daughter Jina. When Gwija was 17 years old, her family married her in a hurry to a a man she didn't know, [after hearing that the Japanese were seizing unmarried girls]. Japan fell, Korea gained its independence, and the couple started a family. But peace didn't come. The young family--now four--fled south. On the road, while breastfeeding and changing her daughter, Gwija was separated from her husband and son. Then 70 years passed--70 years of waiting. Gwija is now an elderly woman and Jina can't stop thinking about the promise she made [to Gwija] to help find her [older half-brother]"--
Language
In English, translated from the Korean.
