This is a cover feature essay by critic Shin Soojeong, published in KLN Vol. 69. Shin examines three novels—Kim Hye-jin’s Concerning My Daughter, Lee Juhye’s Jadu, and Hwang Jungeun’s Years and Years—to explore the ethics of care, family, female solidarity, hope, and disappointment. By highlighting the possibilities and limits of alternative care communities that are outside of traditional family structures and heteronormative relationships, the essay offers a vital rethinking of care in contemporary society.

KLN 69호에 실린 신수정 문학평론가의 평론이다. 김혜진의 『딸에 대하여』, 이주혜의 『자두』, 황정은의 『연년세세』를 중심으로 돌봄과 가족, 여성 연대, 그리고 희망과 실망의 윤리를 탐구한다. 세 작품을 통해 전통적인 가족 제도와 이성애 중심적 관계를 넘어서는 대안적 돌봄 공동체의 가능성과 한계를 살핀다는점에서 유의미하다.
