I liked this one overall but it was a very slow read, even with the audio sped up. This focuses on the lives of two women whose lives are intertwined from WWII through the Korean War. They are forced to trade identities and one is shipped to the United States and the other is send to be a comfort woman to the Japanese Imperial Army. Neither are in a position they are used to and it is years before they make their way back home and try and reclaim their identities. This was heartbreaking, educational, and very well written. The audio was great and the narrator did a wonderful job. I am glad I read this one as I learned a lot and there was some happiness to be had by the end.

Thank you to @Macmillan.Audio for the ALC and to Forge Books for the free copy to review.
