Thank you, Martin Bentham and owen bennett. Youll both be back at 11 30pm for another look at the stories making the news tomorrow. Coming up next, its meet the author. This first novel is a journey into korean heritage, a story of two sisters separated glory cruelly during the Second World War in a country occupied by japan. During the Second World War in a country occupied byjapan. It during the Second World War in a country occupied by japan. It takes its title from the traditional flower of mourning in korea, and the book, which moves from wartime to oui book, which moves from wartime to our own century and back, is an evocative picture of loss, and also an account of how one of the deepest human bonds can survive almost anything. Welcome. For your First Venture into fiction, you chose to go back to the country of your mothers birth to a period long before you were born. To what extent was it, for you personally, a voyage of discovery . For me it was very much a voyage of discovery. I had to do a lot of research into history that i had never heard of. I grew up in america, so our history of korea is very minimal. So i kind of start with stories that my mother had told me, that my grandfather had mentioned, and i went from there. You see, i think many people picking up the book in this country will be startled to realise that anyone going into the Second World War as a korean had been living under what we might calljapanese occupation for 25 years . Yes, definitely. My grandfather was a boy during japanese occupation, so he grew up speaking japanese. He had ajapanese name. He couldnt express anything in korean. He had to hide that. So the two sisters at the centre of this book who live by the sea and dive and do all the things that you do to keep yourself going, to find things that can be sold and create a living, theyre, in a sense, holding on to a culture which they feel, i suppose inside themselves, is permanently under threat . Well, it actually was. They were really the only divers on the island. And the japanese actually prised them. So they would take a lot of them and transport them to japan to dive over there as well. Soto stay in the little small area that they were, they were very lucky and to be able to do it for themselves. Well, lucky but we have to say that what happened to them in this story cannot be described as lucky. They undergo appalling devastation, they are taken to what is effectively a brothel forjapanese soldiers, we see what happens to one of them there, it is a very searing experience, of course, for effectively a young girl. But your whole theme is that the relationship between these two can triumph over even disaster . Yes. I feel like the bonds between hannah and emmy hannah being the one who is taken to the brothel, kind of keeps her going keeps her alive and gives her hope. But for her sister, being left behind, having to go out into the korean war, without her sister, gave her a lot of survivors guilt. That winds the story together. And emmy, we meet in the 2ist century, looking back on this experience. And im thinking about it but reflecting on it, although it is tragic story with some elements of hope . I hope so. Im glad that you say that. Because i mean the comfort womans story is very, very dark. A lot of these women didnt survive. There are 200,000 that they think were sent away to these brothels. Which is a story that most people here wont know. You didnt even know . I didnt know. I was in my 205 by the time i heard this story. I was very confused about it. I spoke to my mother and asked her why she didnt tell me about this. So effectively, a couple of hundred thousand and these women were taken from their families and homes and made to go to japan to become sex slaves . Yes. And it is a timing when the book is emerging at a moment when the people are trying to find out more about the Korean Peninsula for obvious reasons that have to do with contemporary politics, it is a curious accidental timing, that the words korean and korea are on more peoples lips now more than they have been for a long time. Which for me is great. I grew up in a small suburb in texas, when somebody saw me walking down the street, they thought japanese, chinese, never korean. So, i always thought one day im going to write about korea, people are going to know where korea is, and who looks korean. Also, its a historical truth that occurred that there is still some question about. You know, for me, it is very important to remember these women. They are in their 805. They are a forgotten tribe, almost . Yes, theyre not in the history books and we dont read about them. I think before the last one passes away it would be wonderful if all of the history books in korea, japan and america, do have them in there. You talk about your mother being born just at the end of the korean war, it ended in the early 505, how much did she know and where did she know it about what had happened before she was born . It is nothing she ever talked about. Really . When i found out about it, i asked her, she said everyone knows about it, it was not news. But it was known, not spoken of . Yes. Under the dictatorships they were not allowed to speak of the wars or the atrocities of the past, whether it was the Second World War or the korean war. You were not allowed to mention it . It was frowned upon. You could get thrown into jail. It was in the 805 in the democracy when women started coming out. The families must have known. They had to imagine, it is very cruel but they must have had to picture what had happened to their children for example but without really knowing . Yes. And a lot of them also had to ignore it. They couldnt think about it. It was so taboo. Yes. What sort of journey was it for you yourself . We spoke about the exploration into korean history, which it represents in the 20th century but what about the emotional feeling. When you had written this story, when you had tried to imagine how emmy felt in the 2ist century looking back to innocent days with her sister and then what had happened, emotionally, what did it do for you . It was a bit of a roller coaster. It was up and down. There are happy moments when you remember your childhood. But there is also that melancholy and sadness, that you dont get it back, that its gone. So as a writer i pretend im living through it in order to put that down. I suppose there is the question of potential guilt, feeling, i have never had to experience anything like this, how can i presume to picture the emotional state of people who have gone through something that i cant even imagine . That is quite a tricky thing to do when doing it for the first time . Very much so. I was in a unique position where my mother and all of her friends had tragic lives in korea. It is why they are in america. I got to listen to them to tell their stories, to see how they reacted, how they felt, and the emotions that they went through telling their stories. And thats my entire childhood. And we should say that the title of the book, white chrysanthemum, is a reference to the traditional flower of mourning in korea . Yes. So if you see a funeral they always have a picture of the deceased and they will bring the chrysanthemums and put them next to the picture. That is an appropriate thing to have on the cover of this book. Yes. Mary lynn bracht, author of white chrysanthemum, thank you very much. Thank you. Hello.
