I liked this book because it describes some of the many challenges unique to being a woman. After reading, I feel both vindicated and anxious about how I might raise a family and pursue a career. It was so interesting learning about how hopeless this challenge is for many Korean women. I was not happy that the narrator of the audio book was a man at first, given that it is the story of Jiyoung’s life and has such a feminist sentiment, but at the end of the book it is clear why the narrator is a man, with a plot twist!

A novel about being a woman in South Korea. However, it is universal story, as women from other countries and cultures suffer under similar situations.
