À propos de cet audio

Lisa Wingate’s Before We Were Yours and Min Jin Lee’s Pachinko, a deeply moving novel that follows two Korean sisters separated by World War II.

Korea, 1943. Hana has lived her entire life under Japanese occupation. As a haenyeo, a female diver of the sea, she enjoys an independence that few other Koreans can still claim. Until the day Hana saves her younger sister from a Japanese soldier and is herself captured and transported to Manchuria. There she is forced to become a "comfort woman" in a Japanese military brothel. But haenyeo are women of power and strength. She will find her way home.

South Korea, 2011. Emi has spent more than 60 years trying to forget the sacrifice her sister made, but she must confront the past to discover peace. Seeing the healing of her children and her country, can Emi move beyond the legacy of war to find forgiveness?

Suspenseful, hopeful, and ultimately redemptive, White Chrysanthemum tells a story of two sisters whose love for each other is strong enough to triumph over the grim evils of war.

It's a beautiful story about the tragedies of WW2 and gave you a view from those who suffered in more ways then one.

A serious and moving story

This book tells the story of war from 2 perspectives rarely encountered, the plight of women in wartime and the horrors of what happened to the Korean people.
While the violence against women was difficult to listen to, it was a vital part of this story. I kept thinking, if it was this hard for me just to read, what must it have been like for the thousands of women who actually lived this tragedy? How could they go on from day to day? The author answers this by balancing the hate of humans with the emotions of love and hope.
The narrator did a fine job with reading the story, but when it came to dialogue, the accents sounded a bit robotic to me.
Overall, I highly recommend this book.
