At it's essence <I>Winter in Sokcho</I> is a character study and exploration of people. This book is more about the feeling it portrays rather than any plot points or events unfolding in a traditional manner. In all honesty, I'm not sure I can describe what this book is about, but it made me feel.

I've never been to South Korea nor have I ever consumed any of the dishes described, and yet I was transported to the shores of Sokcho and felt the isolation and frigidness—both of temperature and temperament—in my bones. There were many moments that made me physically ill (the descriptions of eating and existing as the ugly, unrefined creatures that we are might keep you reeling) that I felt dubiously tethered to the character and her tight rope of sanity. It all leaves you feeling a bit dazed, really.
