I read this a few months ago and still find myself thinking back to it. It was a wonderful book that enlightens the reader on the lived experiences of women in South Korea. The book deals with some heavy topics and some lighter ones and the balance was refreshing. I really enjoyed the footnotes interspersed throughout the story to give validity to some of the experiences as not just fiction but proven fact.
