what is the theme of when my name was keoko
When My Name Was Keoko Critical reception has been positive,[2] and When My Name Was Keoko has received a review from the School Library Journal and two reviews from the Horn Book Guide.[3] AudioFile praised the book's story while criticizing that the audiobook narration was "at times flat and without emotion".[4] Publishers Weekly gave When My Name Was Keoko a starred review and wrote "Through the use of the shifting narrators, Park subtly points up the differences between male and female roles in Korean society and telling details provide a clear picture of the siblings and their world."[5] Kliatt and Reading Time both praised the work and Kliatt commented that it would be of good use in classrooms, especially those focused in literary, history, or had "students of Korean roots and good students who like substance in their stories."[6][7]
