A review by sisa_moyo
Togani by Gong Jiyoung

A strong and powerful book on a dark and twisted moment in South Korean history, that the author novelises with delicacy and kindness yet still maintaining the gruesomeness and pain of it all. 
It is eerie and as you read it you too feel consumed and clouded by the mist and fog, bogged down and increasing tight in the chest with each page. 
Kang, a failed businessman, lands a job as a teacher at a school for deaf-mute children. Here, he discovers a painful and disturbing secret between the children and the teachers. 
I am yet to watch the movie adaption called “Silenced”.
