It's a heartwrecnhing and tragic story about the Gwangju uprising. It was uncomfortable to read. It's beautifully written (another review I read on here goes into detail about the English translation, which was interesting).
I would highly recommend looking into content warnins before reading this book. Some things took me by surprise.
