What to expect
Nurse Molly Dahl wants to escape the trauma of wartime Denmark by joining the hospital ship, Jutlandia, set for the battlefields of Korea.
Yun, an eleven-year-old North Korean girl, flees her village which was destroyed by Napalm, seeking sanctuary from the havoc.
Both Molly and Yun abandon their pasts, hopeful for a brighter future in South Korea. However, their journey becomes more treacherous than they could ever have anticipated. When their lives converge in the vibrant port city of Pusan, there is an unforeseen intertwining of fates.
An inspiring historical drama set in the aftermath of World War II, this tale of resilience, hope, and the indomitable human spirit is sure to captivate readers who were swept away by "The Nightingale" by Kristin Hannah and "Sarah’s Key" by Tatiana de Rosnay."
