The Girl Who Wrote Loneliness by Kyung-sook Shin

4.0

4.5 stars. This absolutely beautiful novel interwove the narrator's current experience of writing the novel (exploring the meaning of writing and memory) with the story she is telling about her late teen years working in an industrial sweatshop in Seoul. The structure of this book was really masterful; the slow pacing that at first seems to be drifting around in a confusing way was actually part of the novel's artistry.
