From the beginning of the book until now we are now onto the fourth generation.

Noa has found out Hansu is his dad. However it’s been mentioned Hansu is a gangster. I hope that Noa doesn’t follow in his dad’s footsteps.

I don’t think we’ve saw the last of Kim. I think he was traveling to Korea. Kim works/worked for Hansu.

Yoseb is still not well. He gave Kim his blessing to remarry his wife when he was gone. However his partner couldn’t speak of this whilst her husband was alive. Leaving Kim to leave the house and head on his travels.

Going to university as an investment is true. As Yoseb had suggested he could even head to America to work.

Noa got accepted into Weseda. A great university in Tokyo. Sunja wanted to borrow the money from Hansu - however this is not a loan. He wanted to do this for his son. This means that Noa gets tuition paid alongside an apartment. The family see Noa going to university as an investment.
