​​​Korea Reunited by Irene Kim offers a wealth of information on Korean history and the current state of affairs. This thought-provoking work gets one thinking about the true cost of war as leaders fight over ideologies. It also captured the plight of the families who were separated from their loved ones & are currently.​

A lifelong appreciation for familial bonds, history, & heritage, in contrast with the way many of us live today.
​Something that stood out as remarkably timely is the universal depiction of the emotional & cultural turbulence faced by immigrants.
​
Very highly Recommended.

An incredibly touching story that is much more than mere history. Irrespective of where people are from or what circumstances they find themselves in, there is always something they have in common, something that makes everyone human.
Recommended for anyone who enjoys memoirs & history.

A deeply touching memoir of love & loss, family, & the enduring quest for identity. I especially enjoyed her reflections on every situation, her vivid descriptions of the people she met, the scenery, the food, & the culture she encountered, often different from her own.
​
Inspired thoughtful reflection from me as a reader.
