A review by angelsbeforeman
I Went to See My Father by Kyung-sook Shin

emotional reflective sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Loveable characters? Yes

4.5

i did like please look after mom more, but this is still amazing. i just love shin kyungsook's style and i could read practically anything she writes. it's also translated by anton hur, which is always great to hear. anyway, i love the way this novel explores family. it's sad, but i enjoyed reading it. i do have some issues with the pacing, but nothing major.
