Definitely something different which kind of made it refreshing. I might not have liked this if I didn't listen to it, to be honest, but I was still able to get into the different lives of each person within the book so was able to still enjoy it.

An interesting reflection on what it means to be a woman and mother, framed through four very different families who are all brought together because of an experiment of sorts

A dark look at the struggles of the middle class in modern day Seoul. I would recommend having an understanding in Korean culture to better understand this book. While it was an interesting and poignant story, I felt that the topics and challenges weren’t that original or complex.
