The Old Woman with the Knife by Gu Byeong-mo

3.0

If you’re looking for a charming Quentin Tarantino-like story, this books it!

It’s different, but I was sucked in from the opening train scene. An interesting take on society’s treatment of the elderly, made even more stark by placing the female protagonist in such a physically demanding occupation. I really enjoyed her as a character. Just had a hard time really following all the threads and nuances.

I’d recommend to anyone who enjoys a good fight scene
