"Comfort Woman" ( No Keller )
Reviews a novel about a Korean-American mother-daughter relationship, the role of spirits in culture, shame and love.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages) | 1 source | 1999 United States


Paper Summary:

Introduction
In the United States, any analysis of mother daughter relationships generally takes into account generational, or family, patterns. The belief is that there are more than two people involved in that relationship, or at least metaphorical ghosts affecting the relationship. In Korean, however, the spirits are more literal. In this book, the story of the mother daughter relationship is unfathomable without referring to that belief system.
