Description
Thrust into the cold world at age 20, the pregnant Tome takes a factory job. She gives this up for the relative comfort of the life of an American GI’s mistress. Once her American benefactor heads home, she seeks shelter in a house of prostitution, eventually becoming the Madam. Later in life, she is introduced to the daughter she abandoned years earlier, whose life has followed almost exactly the same path as hers.
