Another book!

I just finished reading a wonderful book - The Calligrapher's Daughter. Set in Korea from around 1915 to 1945, this book tells the story of Najin and her family as they ride the waves of the years passing. Najin is headstrong, intelligent, and encouraged by her mother to both honor traditional values, and push the boundaries of those values. Najin struggles, learns, grows, and the tale, too, grows in scope. This is a story about endurance, perseverance, determination, faith, war, suffering, victory and redemption. Beauty, relationships, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons.

Written with authenticity, passion, and great tenderness, you will love the tale of this family as they work to survive the world that is in turmoil all around them.

I loved this book!
