Daughters of the Dragon

Description

When twenty-year-old Anna Carlson travels from America to a Korean orphanage
to locate her birth mother, she’s devastated to learn the woman is already
dead. But just when it seems her search is over, a stranger hands her a parcel
containing an antique comb―and an address.That scrap of paper leads Anna to
the Seoul apartment of the poor yet elegant Hong Jae-hee. Jae-hee recounts an
epic tale that begins with the Japanese occupation of Korea and China during
World War II, when more than two hundred thousand Korean women were forced to
serve the soldiers as “comfort women.” Jae-hee knows the story well―she was
one of them.As Jae-hee’s narrative unfolds, Anna discovers that the precious
tortoiseshell comb, with its two-headed ivory dragon, has survived against all
odds through generations of her family’s women. And as its origins become
clearer, Anna realizes that along with the comb, she inherits a legacy―of
resilience and courage, love and redemption―beyond her wildest
imagination.Revised edition: This edition of Daughters of the Dragon includes
editorial revisions. Read more
