Acerca de esta escucha

“A beautiful and deeply researched novel…If you loved Pachinko, you’ll love White Mulberry.” —Lisa See, New York Times bestselling author of The Island of Sea Women

Inspired by the life of Easton’s grandmother, White Mulberry is a rich, deeply moving portrait of a young Korean woman in 1930s Japan who is torn between two worlds and must reclaim her true identity to provide a future for her family.

1928, Japan-occupied Korea. Eleven-year-old Miyoung has dreams too big for her tiny farming village near Pyongyang: to become a teacher, to avoid an arranged marriage, to write her own future. When she is offered the chance to live with her older sister in Japan and continue her education, she is elated, even though it means leaving her sick mother—and her very name—behind.

In Kyoto, anti-Korean sentiment is rising every day, and Miyoung quickly realizes she must pass as Japanese if she expects to survive. Her Japanese name, Miyoko, helps her find a new calling as a nurse, but as the years go by, she fears that her true self is slipping away. She seeks solace in a Korean church group and, within it, finds something she never expected: a romance with an activist that reignites her sense of purpose and gives her a cherished son.

As war looms on a new front and Miyoung feels the constraints of her adopted home tighten, she is faced with a choice that will change her life—and the lives of those she loves—forever.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Narrator Michelle Lee transports listeners with this historical debut based on the life of the author's grandmother.… Lee's measured yet fluent delivery effectively depicts the well-researched political and social climate of that era. [T]his is an engaging listening experience.”AudioFile Magazine

“In straightforward prose, Easton novelizes events that will compel readers seeking themes of identity, ‘passing’ in a different culture, immigration, and occupation.”Booklist

“This is a unique historical novel with many well-knit threads.”Historical Novels Review

Sweeping Tale of Bravery and Family Devotion

This book was one of my favorite historical fiction novels that I''ve ever read. I oscillated between a paperback and the audio. Because I wanted to make sure that I got the name pronunciations right. I'm glad I did. But either way, the author does a wonderful job of giving the reader an inside experience of what it's like to be an immigrant and and have your heart pulled to different countries. The author's descriptions are wonderfully written. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves historical fiction.

Fascinating story

And even more intriguing and interesting to learn it is based on a true life story and experience.

Struggles and her unwavering determination

It dragged a little but was worth reading. I would have liked to know what happened beyond the point where the book ended.

What a lovely story. I was captivated immediately & loved the education about Korea & Japan.

A well written book that was a page-turner. I liked that the story was based on the author’s grandma’s life & that the author researched the time period to make the historical context of the store as accurate as possible.

very repetitive

a very interesting story but not well told. very, very repetitive. it repeated itself over and over again. telling the reader the same thing, over and over it hold her feelings. saying how she felt and was conflicted. See, how annoying it is.

Religious Christian propaganda camouflaged as a feminist novel

I thought it would be a look into Japanese-occupied Korea and the life of a woman at those times who yearned for something more than an arranged marriage, motherhood, and doing what she was told.

Instead I got Christian propaganda that pretended to be about promoting a woman’s rights and did heavy proselytizing, with a dash of martyrdom.

Having went to a Christian school for some time, I can honestly say that they are not pro-women’s rights and choice. The man is the head of the household, “thou shalt not suffer a woman to be above you,” and you just need to look at the agenda and laws the Christian party is passing to see that what they stand for runs counter to the original premise of this book.

If you’re not already brainwashed into the religion, I absolutely would not recommend this book. DNF and I do that pretty rarely.
