It took me a long time to finish it. My first time reading Kyung-Sook Shin's book and turn out less for my taste. Beneran ngerasa frustasi banget sama karakter San-yi nya. Aku paham dia sudah melalui banyak hal dihidupnya, even the traumatic event. To thinking again it's really sad, like the moment she was happy at same time her life back to the sad moment (again). Cerita San-yi berbicara banyak hal menurutku, tentang trauma penolakan dirinya karena identitas dia sebagai perempuan dan karena itu dia juga ditinggalkan orang-orang terdekatnya terutama dari keluargannya.
