Living in the isolation of the country, Yun-hee is engaged in a solitary struggle. Her two worlds, that of a rural housewife and that of an advocate for equality, are at odds with each other. Although she reveres a mother who calls her husband "Master," Yun-hee still hopes that one day things might be different for her daughter.     http://www.amazon.ca/Valley-Nearby-Sok-Kyong-Kang/dp/0435081462/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1437722898&sr=1-1&keywords=0435081462
