une histoire épique qui relate la vie d'une paysanne coréenne vendue comme prostituée en Chine, à Formose, à Singapour puis dans l'archipel de Ryu-Kyu, sur fond de pénétration commerciale et militaire occidentale. Cet arrière-plan forme le prétexte à de multiples rebondissements et constitue un des points forts du livre. Mais l'héroïne, forte femme qui domine sa destinée et les violences qui lui sont imposées, jusqu'à devenir une princesse avant de connaître un dernier et partiel déclassement, est un peu caricaturale. Cela ôte de sa crédibilité à l'ouvrage.
