Telynor's Library, and then some
A woman of a certain age who has three cats underfoot, and has the dream of filling her passport with stamps. Books, classical music, tea, cats, movies, art, fancy needlework, and anything else I can think of.
For a first novel this one was very good, with the heroine, Najin, being a wee bit of a doormat, but it was the secondary characters and story that kept me going. Set during the Japanese occupation in Korea on through to the end of WWII, this one turned out to be much better than I thought it would be. Too, the author thoughtfully included a glossary and an author's note. All in all, I really liked this one, and I suspect that I just might reread it again in the future sometime. Four stars overall, and a hearty recommend from me. For the longer review, please go here:
