Review Highlights |
"Shin's prose, intimate and hauntingly spare in this translation by Chi-Young Kim...powerfully conveys grief's bewildering immediacy... [A] raw tribute to the mysteries of motherhood."
—The New York Times Book Review "The most moving and accomplished, and often startling, novel in translation I've read in many seasons." —The Wall Street Journal "...nostalgic but unsentimental, brutally well observed, and, in this flawlessly smooth translation by Chi-Young Kim, it allows a sobering account of a vanished past.. We must hope there will be more translations to follow." —The Times Literary Supplement "Translated deftly by native English speaker Chi-Young Kim." —The Globe and Mail |
