The Girl Who Wrote Loneliness by Kyung-sook Shin

emotional reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes

4.0

an autographical story and truly a work of historical fiction, since it gives valuable insight into how it was to live at the time when the unnamed protagonist was a teenage girl. she comes to seoul for work to help out her struggling family, and she studies to become a writer. though i really liked the parts that describe the narrator's experiences with work and her living conditions, i also liked how the narrator talked about literature and writing. really liked the style. as always, shin kyungsook is an author whose work i truly love reading ^_^
