Great book! I learned more about Korea in this work of fiction than I ever knew before. I learned about naming ceremonies, Christianity in Korea, traditional upbringing of Korean yangban (aristocratic) families and much more. I loved the main character and her mother, railed against her father and brother, worried that her husband wouldn't be good enough and so on. You know it's a good story when you care so much about what happens to the characters.
