Her family, still in the countryside, is too impoverished to keep sending her to school, so she works long, sunless days on a stereo assembly line, struggling through night school every evening in order to achieve her dream of becoming a writer. Korea's brightest literary star sets this complex and nuanced coming-of-age story against the backdrop of Korea's industrial sweatshops of the 1970s and takes on the extreme exploitation, oppression, and urbanization that helped catapult Korea's economy out of the ashes of war. But it was girls like Shin's heroine who formed the bottom of Seoul's rapidly changing social hierarchy, forgotten and ignored. 650 0 $a Sweatshops $x Fiction. $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $x Fiction. 651 0 $a Korea $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Compact discs. 650 4 $a Compact discs $x Unabridged. 700 1 $a Zeller, Emily Woo. 710 2 $a Blackstone Audio, Inc. 941 $a 1 945 $a cda 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20161111050119.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0AC14B5AA7FE11E6A58C9BBB18183C5C 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
