There a Petal Silently Falls: Three Stories by Ch'oe Yun by Ch'oe Yun
4.0
This book was quite a dense read and I would recommend it if you are partial to long beautiful metaphors.
Of the three short stories, I liked Whisper Yet the best. The mother and daughter dynamic interspersed with the story of Ajebi was really interesting.
As Choe uses extended metaphor, much of the background information is unexplained and a knowledge of modern korean history is needed to fully comprehend the intentions behind the works.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the various stories in Korean.
