When My Name Was Keoko
When My Name Was Keoko | Linda Sue Park
7 posts | 13 read | 6 to read
A heartwarming tale of courage, resilience and hope from master storyteller and winner of the prestigious Newbery Medal, Linda Sue Park. When her name was Keoko, Japan owned Korea, and Japanese soldiers ordered people around, telling them what they could do or say, even what sort of flowers they could grow. When her name was Keoko, World War II came to Korea, and her friends and relatives had to work and fight for Japan. When her name was Keoko, she never forgot her name was actually Kim Sun-hee. And no matter what she was called, she was Korean. Not Japanese. Inspired by true-life events, this amazing story reveals what happens when your culture, country and identity are threatened.

Great book which talks about family and country. With no knowledge about Japan Korea War this was a good place to start

I ❤️'d this book the first few times I read it, and I still do reading it again after so many years. It's a beautiful work of fiction based on so many true events that occurred during WW2 some of which hit very close to home both literally and figuratively.

I keep trying to start this book, but I can't seem to stay away from this veryclose election. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one watching and not reading! And thank you to my Litsy family for being a safe space tonight!
