A “powerful novel” about a young boy and the effect of the Korean War on his family and his rural village (Chattanooga Times).
In a mountain village in Korea, 1950, the memory of the Japanese occupation has just begun to fade. Then, the farmers hear that the army led by the great General “Megado”—MacArthur—has landed at Inchon.
As soldiers descend upon their home, a special encampment is soon set up nearby, nicknamed Texas Town. There, local women meet with the invaders—including one little boy’s mother. And the fate that befalls her will change both of them forever.
