A mother grieving the death of her child and seeking revenge is pretty central to the plot.freemakd's review

However, I must admit that the pace was slower than what I had anticipated, and there were moments where I longed for more excitement. Additionally, the book was somewhat repetitive at times, which detracted slightly from my overall enjoyment. Nonetheless, I found it a refreshing read, and I would recommend it to others. This was my first time reading a book by Choo, and I look forward to delving into more of her work in the future.
Moderate: Child death
