It was interesting but i wish we got the main character's POV more, since she's the central character driving the plot. The last pov with the sister was the best. The other two felt very gratuitous with the trauma they were inflicting on the main character.

Again, very interesting read that picked up as it went but I would not recommend.

Even as a child, In-hye had possessed the innate strength of character necessary to make one’s own way in life. As a daughter, as an older sister, as a wife and as a mother, as the owner of a shop, even as an underground passenger on the briefest of journeys, she had always done her best.
