An ethereal and atmospheric fever dream that reminds us not to forget our past by connecting a modern female friendship with two massacres on South Korea. Kang is a phenomenal writer, her prose is immaculate - I could feel the Jeju snowstorm with all my senses. My only issue was sometimes the past and present links didn't full land, but I realized I didn't really care, I was enjoying the writing so much.
