Loved this. This family saga begins as a little Be story in a Korean village and moved through the 30th century with tragedies born of ethnicity and class, and simple joys found in hard work and family. In so much sadness, the pull of family and heritage remains strong. “The penalties incurred for the mistakes you made had to be paid out in full to the members of your family.”
