Trade Review
**Recommended by the New York Public Library among its list of '50 Best New Comics for Adults' in 2023**
"With poignancy and grace, Han Seong-won honors the dwindling populations of 'comfort women,' or survivors of the atrocities of sexual slavery of WWII. Through amazing illustrations, this book offers a snapshot into the impact these injustices had on their lives and families." —New York Public Library
"Mixing vivid, colorful snapshot portraits with stripped-down black-and-white comics, the simply rendered testimonials are forceful. Recalling Keum Seuk Gendry-Kim's Grass, this acts both as homage and witness, and as inspiration for new generations to speak out against stigma and silence." --Publishers Weekly
