A heartbreaking story set over 100 years in North and South Korea. Lady writing an obituary of a a North Korean slave/spy/murderer/terrorist/mother. The first and last chapter were set in the South Korean nursing home, the middle felt like lots of short stories. Wish there was more of the obituarist peppered through the book
