Title: Not really true
Review: As a student of Korean history and culture and as the mother of a Korean adoptee I found this book to be very disturbing. From the stereotype of the father as an alcoholic, gambling, wife-beating, adulterer who had no interest in his daughters to the first wife who just submits to her fate and just lies down and dies when her husband wants to divorce her...I found the story line unreal and contrived.Go ahead and enjoy this as fantasy but don't think you've learned anything about Korea or reasons children are relinquished for adoption.
