Still reading the novel, The Calligrapher's Daughter and I am about half way through at this point. I find it very interesting and a good story about Korea and the time in its history when Japan thought that Korea was part of their territory. I am not racist or anything, I've been to Japan and have Japanese friends, but more and more think that Japan needs to acknowledge and apologize for some things that happened in history. Good thing my blog isn't widely read by more than 2 or 3 people because that is a pretty strong statement. The book does a good job of really showing the history while the story is going on because what was happening in Korea at this time really influences how the story goes. The book started in 1915 and goes all the way to 1945 in America I think. . . very interesting read, look for it!

I'll let you know how I liked it as a whole after I finish!
