Before and during World War II, Korea was under Japanese occupation. The Japanese government oppressed the Korean culture by eliminating the language, the alphabet and the names of the Korean population. The story is told in the two voices of the siblings, Tae-yul and Sun-hee. The author, Linda Sue Park, wraps into the fictionalized story tales from her own family’s history. This is a gripping story of a historical time period that brings lessons to the modern world.
