Reviews
"Elegantly written, emotionally shattering, and historically accurate, White Chrysanthemum is a feat of literary alchemy. Mary Lynn Bracht reveals the unfathomable cruelty of Japanese sex slavery during World War II through the unbreakable love of Korean sisters." --Blaine Harden, New York Times bestselling author of Escape from Camp 14 "A captivating, controlled and devastating book about the lives of two Korean sisters during the Second World War... Allows us to look at the immediate travesty of the so-called "comfort women" and the unresolved consequences of sexual slavery for the victims' families. Brave, bold, important, this book is beautifully written with characters that will stay with you long after the final, unforgettable paragraph." --Jackie Copleton, Bailey's longlisted author of A Dictionary of Mutual Understanding " White Chrysanthemum is a powerful account of a little discussed subject about the Second World War -- comfort women enslaved by the Japanese army -- but it's also about the courage of the women involved who want to speak about their suffering and their cry for justice, peace and love. Hana's tragic life is just one of an estimated 200,000 Korean comfort women's stories. Beautifully written, it's an impressive debut novel from a writer with a sensitive heart and gifted mind." -- Xiaolu Guo, author of A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers, "A suspenseful and eye-opening historical work reminiscent of Christina Baker Kline's Orphan Train , Jamie Ford's Songs of Willow Frost , and Lisa Wingate's Before We Were Yours . " -- Library Journal (starred) "I read Hana and Emi's story with my heart in my mouth. A bold, devastating, important novel shot through with hope and beauty."--Rachel Joyce, New York Times bestselling author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry "A psychologically acute, emotionally resonant novel....[R]ich with historical detail, White Chrysanthemum is a compelling and important account of civilian women's lives during wartime."-- BookPage "Masterfully crafted, Bracht's mesmerizing debut novel is rich with historical detail and depth of emotion. This is a memorable story about the courage of Korean women during the Second World War." --Publishers Weekly "A debut novel about the Korean 'comfort women' prostituted by Japanese soldiers in World War II--and the strong bond between two sisters separated by the conflict....The book's author, an American of Korean descent, writes well--the passages describing the sisters' early lives are quite lyrical--and she's adept at weaving in historical material about Korea and its fraught relationship with Japan."-- Kirkus Reviews "This captivating and heartbreaking debut novel honors the many thousands of women who were enslaved through WWII."-- Booklist "A timeless, heart wrenching, emotionally powerful tale that will resonate with readers...Its message will not be easily forgotten." --RT Book Reviews "Elegantly written, emotionally shattering, and historically accurate, White Chrysanthemum is a feat of literary alchemy.
