A very informative view on South Koreas paterichal society and how it effects women! Oh the irony of the ending...

Scherp, to the point. Niet onnodig langdradig om het punt over te laten komen. Interessant hoofdkarakter, terwijl zij juist heel ambigu zou moeten zijn omdat ze vrouwelijke Koreanen vertegenwoordigt. Heel gevat einde, en interessant om statistieken in een fictieboek verwerkt te zien worden.

4.5 but rounding up because I have a lot of emotions I can’t quite express—it says a lot about what this novel did to me. It tugs at something inside me I can’t quite place... and it was almost haunting.
