I really enjoyed this book and am sad I didn't have the mindframe to really dive into its ideas and themes more. It really focuses on characters and how people wear masks to hide their true feelings. This is later extended to a full body shell.

『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.
