Read Sad Peninsula Storyline:
Two separate lives become connected in South Korea: traumatized former Korean "comfort woman" Eun-young, who struggles with her past of rape and violence; and Michael, a troubled young Canadian arriving in Korea to teach ESL, whose principles and humanity are tested by Seoul's seedy expatriate underbelly. A world away and two generations apart, their worlds collide through the fiery Jin, who challenges the stereotypes of her race and gender as well as Michael's morality.Through meticulously crafted and heart-wrenching prose, Sad Peninsula takes the reader across oceans and decades, outlining the boundaries between seduction and coercion, between love and destruction, between a past that can't be undone, and a future that seems just out of reach.Pages of Sad Peninsula :
