Personally, I enjoyed this book. I don't see too many novels out there about Korea, especially pre-war Korea. This was a simple story, yet elegantly told and beautifully translated. This was a recommendation featured on the Book Riot All The Books podcast (which I highly recommend for inclusive new release features!).
