imjubeeim 's review for:
Winter in Sokcho
by Elisa Shua Dusapin
Maybe this book’s meaning flew over my head. Maybe I struggle with translated books (although I try so hard to love them, I’m always left wishing I could understand and speak the original language they were written in). Maybe I’m a bigger fan of more saturated, rich setting and character descriptions. This book just felt too sterile.
It could potentially be that the sterility and coldness of the descriptions were to reflect the frozen-in-time town of Sokcho and North-South Korean relations. I recognize that for what it is and do appreciate the character that winter came to be in this story. However, the actual characters were difficult to attach myself to and root for. Not sure how to feel about this book.
