English(English)

Friends and family who are close can end up growing inexorably apart - perhaps due to a petty fight, an irreconcilable quarrel or even for no apparent reason at all except a decay over time. This debut short-story anthology ponders the complexities of human relationships from the perspectives of everyday South Korean women grappling with love, heartache, estrangement and loss.
