Description
Starry Field: A Memoir of Lost History by Margaret Juhae Lee is a poignant and immersive account of her family's history, which she uncovers through investigative journalism, oral history, and archival research. At the heart of the story is her grandfather, Lee Chul Ha, who was imprisoned in Japanese-occupied Korea in 1929 for protesting the colonization of his homeland. Lee's search for her grandfather's truth reveals a complex and often contradictory narrative that challenges the family's legacy and forces her to confront the shockwaves of violence that followed him over four generations. This powerful memoir is a testament to the enduring power of history and its ability to shape our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. Through Starry Field, Lee sheds light on a previously untold story, one that ultimately reveals the complexity and nuance of her grandfather's experience, rather than simply confirming or denying a preconceived notion.
