A review by nastjarchive
Blood Sisters by Kim Yideum

3.0

/3.5⭐️/ a raw and unflinching exploration of the challenges faced during 1980s korea, especially by women in an unsafe political and social environment. the novel's portrayal of difficult themes, e.g suicide and rape, makes it a hard but important read. however, as with many translated works, I found that some of the emotional depth and authenticity may have been lost in translation, making it harder to fully connect with the story.
