『그대의 차가운 손』은 내가 가장 좋아하는 한국 작가, 놀라운 한강의 소설이다. 첫째, 소설은 2002년에 출판되었습니다, 그리고 2019년 독일어로 번역되었습니다. 불행히도 나는 독일어를 전혀 할 줄 모릅니다, 아주 조금만, 사실! 그래서 이 소설이 곧 프랑스어나 영어로 번역되기를 바랍니다. 나는 그 소설을 한국어로 읽었지만 대부분 이해하지 못한 것 같다. 글이 매우 아름답습니다, 복잡한 감정을 많이 느끼게 했다... 앞으로도 이런 멋진 소설을 많이 읽을 수 있도록 한국어를 공부할 거예요.

I kinda preferred the author as a narrator so I kept hoping it would switch back to her, but it was still really good
