Description 작품 소개

This novel by Kim Soom was published in 2016. Based on the testimonies of “comfort women” survivors, it provides a reconstructed account of their lives in their own words, portraying their dignity and courage and wrestling with the historical meaning of their lives. According to the author, the novel was born out of a sense of duty that the voices of the survivors – long neglected by history, and unfairly maligned – should no longer go unheard. It is worth noting that the subject matter is unusual for a work of Korean literature, which has not often dealt with the issue of “comfort women” in the past.
