In 2002 Bracht visited her mother's childhood village, and it was during this trip she first learned of the 'Comfort Women' captured and set up in brothels for the Japanese military. She grew up in a large ex-pat community of women who came of age in post-war South Korea.

She has an MA in Creative Writing from Birkbeck, University of London. Moving between Hana in 1943 and Emi as an old woman today, White Chrysanthemum takes us into a dark and devastating corner of history - and two women whose love for one another is strong enough to triumph over the evils of war.Ībout the Author: Mary Lynn Bracht is an American author of Korean descent who now lives in London.
