I'll Be Right There by Kyung-sook Shin
4.0
The beginning was a little slow for me but other than that, I enjoyed reading this book very much. I love the profoundness in the simple words and relationship between Yoon, Myungsuh and Miru. (I didn’t really like Dahn much 🤭)
Also, this book inspires a fierce longing to wander the streets of Seoul. I’ve been to Seoul before albeit briefly and reading this makes me want to go back if only to see the sights described in the book.
For my first foray into Korean literature, this was quite a fulfilling read. I’m looking forward to reading more! Plus, credit goes to the translator as well because it can be really hard choosing the correct English words to express the same nuances as Korean!
