I found the book deeply unsatisfying and very irritating. I don’t like how it flips between characters’ perspectives, time periods, reality and fantasy, current and historical accounts… I constantly felt I was working too hard to make sense of what was going on at any given moment. Either the book is too clever or I am too stupid but it didn’t work for me

I had a hard time connecting to the story and getting into this. But I’ll give it to her, it was very welll constructed for what it was. I had no idea what was happening most of the time. I just wonder if there was a better way to tell the story? I kind of felt like I was reading a report in pt 2 and it might have been more engaging without the framing of the friend and the ghost and the birds etc. couldn’t this have been focused on Inseon and her mother?

harrowing, raw, heartbreaking, masterfully written, a complete tangle of dreams and nightmares and memories that at its core is about storytelling and friendships, trusting someone with your generational history and trauma. won't be forgetting this for some time !
