Violets explores misogyny, erasure, and repressed desire as we follow San on her desperate search for both autonomy and attachment in the unforgiving reality of contemporary Korean society This novel is short, making it a quick, but heavy read. This review is rather short, as the novel speaks so well for itself; this is truly a work of art.
I highly, highly recommend this book, but maybe not in a time when someone is in an emotional state, because it does require a certain calmness to reach its potential in the reader’s heart. If you haven't read it yet but you were tempted many times to get it. This is your sign to grab it.
