I almost set this book down after the first 100 pgs. The story tells of numerous generations. The early years are difficult to read about, as the Japanese occupation is described rather graphically. Take the time to read to the end of the book, good insights into the strength it takes to live through such hardship and how a mother's love may sometimes seem harsh; although she is doing what she believes she must do to help her children strive. When I finished the book, I wondered if I should re-read or at least scan it again, as there were layers and back stories that I may not have totally understood or realized the depth. Now I need a light-weight book, to shake this one off.
