Too many characters. Abandon. I’ve really enjoyed all his other books. I like his style of writing and he draws characters really well. But I’m finding it confusing.

Shocking. Really shocking. Important to know about what the women of Jeju island in particular, and South Korea went through. Also relevant today as the women this affected now in their 80s try to get an apology and compensation. In fact they were in the news this Wednesday.

I so want to love this book, but I don't. I'm a winter swimmer and to have a book starting with the water temp, which I am also obsessed by was a good start, but the style seems so forced, so clever and witty, overly so. And why did I have to waste a chapter of my life reading about an Estate Agent at a dinner party full of people with trendy, or odd names? Anyway, I haven't given up, and it's slightly better now.
