WHEN MY NAME WAS KEOKO PA

Perspective of a young bother and sister of the rule of Japan over Korea during World War II.

This book was an amazing read for my 10 year old daughter . She couldn’t put the book down - she read it over the course of 2 days . I would definitely recommend this historically accurate fiction to anyone- the description says it is for young adults, but I think all ages would be interested in this.

Was a gift to someone

It taught me how really small things can be v weird for s/o who has never encountered them. It consists of 196 pages.I would have liked if it had more pages. I thought there'd be more suspense but I wasn't v curious about what would happen at the end even though I've never read korean history. But it's a beautiful story. It tells the perspective of two people but isn't repetitive. And would definitely make you want to know history of other countries as well. it's a story of common people living in certain time period and how certain changes were like for them and doesn't dig into things like how politics worked .

This book is one of the best books I have read. It truly brought tears to my eyes. The way the author has captured the emotions of the characters is amazing. Has a great plot, dramatic twist and amazing ending. I would not suggest this book to younger readers as it has some heavy themes. Overall, an amazing book.

This book is a great read, loved every page it's based on the accounts of both the sister and brother which I loved and taught me more about Korea as a whole during World War 2 worth the read definitely!
