One Thousand Chestnut Trees is beautifully written, ornately so with rich detailed characters, and it is deeply insightful. If you know me well, you'll know that over the past few years I've immersed myself in Asian literature and that I'm particularly keen on reading everything and anything I can about the separation of Korea. l naively thought I had a good understanding but in this one little novel I was left with a fuller picture not only of what turmoil Koreans have experienced this century but also of what defines Koreanness. Stout manages to show us this while weaving a personal family story throughout. A powerful combination of memoir and fiction :)
I would recommend this book wholeheartedly… (altro)
