This has to be one of the best books I’ve ever read, the writing style fit so well the stories. Initially I thought it was slow paced until I understood the writing approach and I think it’s genius.
The stories are not related, the characters are from different generations and age groups; but the stories show an emotional and mental trip of their human experience through specific historical events.
I was bawling my eyes out and the emotional experience felt real and relatable as a reader and an outsider to Korean history. I learned so much about the events that the book touched on and I can’t wait to read more from this author.
