Please look into the trigger warnings for this book because there are a lot of them throughout.
This book left me in a book hangover for days after I finished it. It was one of the best books I've read this year so far.
A book about a family spanning generations. You follow them through an enormous amount of struggle and pain. So many chapters ended with me in tears.
This book isn't for the faint of heart but it is absolutely beautiful storytelling. The character development was exquisite and while I felt an enormous amount of sadness throughout I really fell head over heels for these characters from start to finish. Except Hansu, screw that dude!
