520    "At the height of the military dictatorship in South Korea,
       Insuk and Sungho are arranged to be married. The couple 
       soon moves to San Jose, California, with an infant and 
       Sungho's overbearing mother-in-law. Adrift in a new 
       country, Insuk grieves the loss of her past and her 
       divided homeland, finding herself drawn into an illicit 
       relationship that sets into motion a dramatic saga and 
       echoes for generations to come. From the Gwangju Massacre 
       to the 1988 Olympics, flashbacks to Korean repatriation 
       after Japanese surrender, and the Sewol ferry accident, E.
       J. Koh's exquisitely drawn portraits and symphonic 
       testimony from guards, prisoners, perpetrators, and 
       liberators spans continents and four generations of two 
       Korean families forever changed by fateful past decisions 
       made in love and war. Extraordinarily beautiful and deeply
       moving, The Liberators is an elegantly wrought family saga
       of memory, trauma, and empathy, and a stunning testament 
       to the consequences and fortunes of inheritance"--
