Arrebatador!

Ana Margarida Silva

Não foi um livro fácil de ler, mas ainda bem que o fiz. É uma homenagem lindíssima às mulheres coreanas que foram forçosamente retiradas das suas casas durante a ocupação japonesa. Recomendo!

Interessante mas triste.

Bárbara Pinto

Um livro que fala de uma história que não nos é contada quando andamos na escola mas que o deveria ser, demonstra o sofrimento das mulheres ofuscado pela realidade da guerra e posto para debaixo do tapete após o fim da mesma. Uma leitura muito interessante mas extremamente triste.
