It's hard to write a review when the book makes you feel very cross whilst reading. The Book is fiction, but with various factual sources scattered throughout the book.  Filled with misogyny it tells the story of Kim Jiyoungs life in Korea, from birth until 2016 when it was written. The unfairness of how women were/are treated comes across loud and clear.
