Description
The author, who grew up listening to the stories of her parents, who were refugees of the Korean War who lost their hometown, uses a synthesis of documentary and fictional drama to depict a dramatic story of escaping North Korea on an American cargo ship called the Meredith Victory. The Korean War, which broke out on June 25, 1950 and ended with the armistice agreement at Panmunjom on July 27, 1953, left 2.3 million South and North Koreans dead and caused 150,000 casualties among the United Nations forces while creating 3.2 million refugees and more than 10 million separated families. However, there are things that cannot be explained by recorded dates and numbers only, and this book is the story of ordinary people who endured the war with their bodies and souls, regardless of whether they were accounted for by these historical numbers. This book, which combines the oral tradition of the parents’ generation and the author’s own interpretations, creates an affectionate, warm, fun, and deep impression without treating the subject of war lightly.
