kcelena's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional informative sad tense slow-paced

5.0

The pace and style of the writing is definitely not for everyone, but the insight into these years is Korean history - both the events surrounding the life of this author and those around her AND just what daily life and expectations were for those in the upper echelons of Korean society-  is fascinating.
