Five years after her father's death, a Korean-American girl's mother admits to his murder, starting the unraveling of a terrible secret of the mother's past: being sold into prostitution in Japanese "recreation camps" during World War II. White boards, 213 pages. Gently bumped spine ends. An unread copy. (A word about our grading: Fine -- or, sometimes, As New -- is our highest grade, and it's down from there. "Mint" is a word referring to a delightful flavour or an imposing edifice where coins are produced. It may be acceptable where baseball cards or comic books or coins and the like are concerned, but it has absolutely no place in the terminology and protocols of the book world. No place whatsoever. None. Zero.); . , , , .
