The couple soon moves to San Jose, California, with an infant and Sungho's overbearing mother-in-law. Adrift in a new country, Insuk grieves the loss of her past and her divided homeland, finding herself drawn into an illicit relationship that sets into motion a dramatic saga and echoes for generations to come. From the Gwangju Massacre to the 1988 Olympics, flashbacks to Korean repatriation after Japanese surrender, and the Sewol ferry accident, E. J. Koh's exquisitely drawn portraits and symphonic testimony from guards, prisoners, perpetrators, and liberators spans continents and four generations of two Korean families forever changed by fateful past decisions made in love and war. Extraordinarily beautiful and deeply moving, The Liberators is an elegantly wrought family saga of memory, trauma, and empathy, and a stunning testament to the consequences and fortunes of inheritance" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Arranged marriage $v Fiction. 941 $a 21 952 $l SEPC074 $d 20240416010543.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045137.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314030239.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20240223010608.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240214011950.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20240210011015.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20240206011345.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240202024212.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012450.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240126010341.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20240106011100.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240106010216.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20231215010053.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20231212010501.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20231205010836.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20231205010614.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20231202013743.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20231202012000.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20231202011234.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231202010411.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20231102013552.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=94406AB4794811EE8DD2691B42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
