Possessing a wisdom and maturity rarely found in a first novelist, Korean-American writer Nora Okja Keller tells a heartwrenching and enthralling tale in this, her literary debut. Comfort Woman is the story of Akiko, a Korean refugee of World War II, and Beccah, her daughter by an American missionary. The two women are living on the edge of society -- and sanity -- in Honolulu, plagued by Akiko's periodic encounters with the spirits of the dead, and by Beccah's struggles to reclaim her mother from her past. Slowly and painfully Akiko reveals her tragic story and the horrifying years she was forced to serve as a "comfort woman" to Japanese soldiers. As Beccah uncovers these truths, she discovers her own strength and the secret of the powers she herself possesses -- the precious gifts her mother has given her.

評分很多感觸。戰爭帶給人的創傷不僅不會消失,而是會遺留在時間和空間的縫隙不斷被拾起,甚至影響著後麵的generation。或許甚至是當那個載體去往另一個世界時被留下的人纔會獲得重生… 哎。可惜這本書是否在結尾處與其描寫這一trauma反而是將其英雄化?絕不能代錶那一整個generation。但仍然值得一讀
評分開頭兩章太震動瞭。
