belle_fiction 's review for:
The White Book
by Han Kang
3.5 stars
Hmmm, this book is very tricky to review and I do not have the words to do this justice. I also think in order to fully appreciate the quiet and subdued beauty of this book, you have to be in a particular mood.
But what everyone can categorically agree on is this - Han Kang can write. Her prose is layered, musical, haunting and very affecting - so much vivid imagery and poignancy which left me with goose bumps.
I loved the first half of the book; not so much the second - and I'm not entirely sure why.
I would definitely like to re-read this again as I feel that possibly because I wasn't in the "right" mood, I didn't end up loving it but I can see why this would have a profound and lasting impression on many.
