China Book Club: 'How We Disappeared' by Jing-Jing Lee

Details

During the 1930s and 40s, when the Japanese captured women from conquered territories, they often transported them to military brothels.

In 1942, seventeen-year-old Wang Di is shipped off to one. For six decades she tells no-one what she went through.

And in the year 2000, her twelve year-old grandson Kevin overhears a mumbled confession. He sets out to discover the truth, wherever it might lead, setting in motion an unforeseeable journey into the past.
