About Book
MY FATHER
It is a touching story, “My Father” by Kathy Blakemore, about the life of a young boy, Cha Lee Ping, who was forced to live in an abusive household in Seoul, Korea. His mother is furious with his father, and this is expressed through incessant cruelty, making Cha go through physical and emotional pain. It is explained that he leads a miserable life, particularly when he is imprisoned in a dark, dead wardrobe, hence demonstrating how neglected and feared children can influence the minds. By digging into the themes of identity, the struggle of resilience, and self-acceptance, the book provides the reader with plenty to ponder, such as the long-term impact of trauma and the complexity of relationships within a family.
