Reviews

[Nari · Rating 5 out of 5]

I started and finished it for a day. It has such a solid story line. In 2018 I read this book in English, the original version. I think, sadness manifested a little deeper in Korean.

[Kelly Glenn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I, of course, did not read this book in Korean but halfway through realized I had already read this book. I was so invested that I had to finish. I remembered parts of it but really wanted to see how this families life played out. It’s a very good story of a Korean family.
Starts in the early 1900s with a daughter who’s unplanned pregnancy sets wheels in motion for many generations. It’s a very long book almost 500 pages but I really liked the story.

[aska · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was a too good story to be true.
As one story it was awesome but it has lots of historical and ethical perspectives that made me think of. It took only a half day to read through all. Incredible!
