4.0
dark emotional informative sad tense fast-paced

 Memoir/detective story about a Korean adoptee growing up in Sweden & then looking for her birth family. The first part of the book is about the difficulties of growing up as an Asian adoptee in a racist society. The rest of the book is about the author & her partner’s sleuthing to find her birth family & to find the circumstances of her adoption. This memoir is intense & pretty scathing of the institution international adoption.
