Description
A powerful and thought-provoking novel about the lives of Korean comfort women during World War II. Based on the testimonies of dozens of survivors, "One Left" tells the story of a woman who was kidnapped at 13 and forced into sexual servitude, only to live in isolation and fear for years after her release. The book sheds light on a dark period in history, exploring the traumatic experiences of women who were subjected to horrific conditions in 'comfort stations' across Japanese-occupied territories. This first English translation of a Korean novel recovers the overlooked stories of Korea's most marginalized women, rekindling conversations about comfort women and the violent legacies of Japanese colonialism. Through its extensively researched and poignant narrative, "One Left" offers a powerful exploration of trauma, endurance, and the human spirit.
