Vidunderlig fortælling om en koreansk familie.

En slow men medrivende slægtsroman, som både lærer en om historien mellem Korea og Japan, om kulturen i så anderledes en del af verden men som også handler om det universelle i at være fremmed og være usikker på hvor man hører hjemme.

Den er lang men man lærer utrolig meget om Japan og Korea. Anbefales om man liker familieromaner der man følger flere generasjoner.
