Set against the backdrop of the 1930s in Japan-occupied Korea, it tells a rich & deeply moving portrait of a young Korean girl who is torn between two worlds and must reclaim her true identity to provide a future for her family.
“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
