the writing was absolutely beautiful, i had a great experience reading this novel. however, many parts (like 1/3 i would say) of the story was complicated and hard to understand. that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s bad, i’m just not smart enough for the way the story is written and told.
The story is painful, beautiful and educational, which i found fascinating. i learned so much about the korean uprising through a fictional novel. i honestly might’ve not ever learned anything about it if it wasn’t for this book.
i feel like this is the kind of book that is worth reading many times, because it tells and reveals so much information that you might not notice at the first read
