Well this book was certainly fresh. I love Korean literature because it's focusing so much on feelings and emotions and everything portraited in the book is helping the reader understand the emotion.
This book is about the murder of Kim Hae-on in 2002, she was wearing a yellow dress, from here the title of the book. The books is compose on short chapters from the point of view of Da-on, Hae-on little sister, Han Manu, Yun Tae-ri and Sanghui and it covers 19 years since the murder.
In the book we see how Hae-on's murder affected everyone and how everyone battles with grief and guilt.
I listen this in audiobook and it was a bit confusing because of the voices ( male was for a girl character, and women voice for both male and female) and it took a bit to get used with who is narrating at certain times. But it was short and enjoying.
