Description

During the final years of the Japanese Occupation, Gui-yong and Eum-chun strike gold by finding a love as sweet as sticky rice. But their love for each other and for their secretly adopted daugh- ter is not enough, as they must soon accept the impossible--a mistress moving in to bear Gui-yong the male child deemed necessary in a society still smoldering in Confucianism.
