This is the third book by Han Kang that I've read and it has officially cemented her as one of my favorite authors. The White Book is an incredibly poetic exploration of the ripple effect of loss. Connecting brief fictional vignettes both past and present, Kang uses the color white to illustrate a touching portrait of generational grief. I won't say anymore because I don't think I can do it justice. Please just read this beautiful little book!
