Losing a Sister by Lee Kyung-ja focuses on one particular theme of Pundan Munhak (Separation Literature), that of the re-unions between families split by the war. This territory has been covered in other works including Yi Mun-yol’s An Appointment with my Brother, and more indirectly in Sonu Hwi’s One Way, but Losing a Sister takes a particularly personal and specific non-macho approach to the subject.
