srm 's review for:

The Hole by Pyun Hye-young
4.5
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Tense with a lowkey, creeping sense of dread, the novel looks at what happens when a man is severely injured in a car accident and needs constant care, but the only person available is his mother-in-law. The writing and translation are topnotch.
