What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers have largely expressed their admiration for this novel, praising its well-developed characters and compelling historical narrative. Many found themselves deeply absorbed by the storytelling and Lee's writing style, highlighting how the multi-generational saga provides a rich exploration of Korean history and the immigrant experience in Japan. While some were initially hesitant due to the book's length, they found that the plot moved quickly and was engaging. A few readers noted a shift in pacing and less compelling characters in the latter parts of the book, but this did not significantly detract from their overall enjoyment. One reader mentioned a personal expectation of a Christian perspective, which led to their disappointment, but acknowledged the book's historical accuracy and superb writing.
