I am amazed at how much Jiles does with two characters and a landscape. This book is so moving, literally and figuratively.

"There are great holes in your newspapers. Nobody sees them. God sees them" (57).

I'm kind of in love with Cho-hanna's little bright face after Kep-tan talked the soldiers into moving on. The descriptions of setting in this book are too beautiful and perfect. I've always loved a character driven book, but I could read her descriptions of the landscape all day.
