What a beautiful little book!

I love stories that explore one character fully and through different aspects of their lives. The hook was what really intrigued me about this book and thought it would be a sort of magical book with Jiyoung behaving just as her mother. It was more a story of life in Korea for women and men. 

Very informative with some real life statistics cited. I cried at parts of this it’s done well,
