‘아이를 진정으로 사랑한다는 것은 무엇일까’
대한민국 부모들에게 여러 질문을 던지는, 소설판 [SKY 캐슬]

14만 독자의 사랑을 받았던 『나의 아름다운 정원』의 심윤경 작가가 일곱 번째 장편소설이자 17년 만에 펴내는 두 번째 성장소설 『설이』로 돌아왔다. 제7회 한겨레문학상 수상작인 『나의 아름다운 정원』이 ‘성장소설 이상의 성장소설’로 불렸다면, 『설이』는 ‘완전히 새로운 성장소설’이라고 할 수 있다. 주인공 ‘설이’의 혹독한 성장담은 어떤 영화나 드라마보다 더 강하고 세차며 맹렬하면서도 따뜻하게 독자들에게 다가간다.

『설이』는 난마처럼 뒤얽힌 교육 문제에 갇혀 갈 길을 잃어버린 이 시대 부모와 아이들의 이야기라는 점에서 화제가 된 드라마 [SKY 캐슬]과 닮아 있다. 그러나 [SKY 캐슬]이 입시를 둘러싼 부조리에 집중되어 있다면, 『설이』는 본질적으로 ‘사랑’에 관한 이야기이다. 작가는 좋은 교육 환경 아래서 성취와 성공을 위해 행해지는 부모 코칭이 과연 진정한 사랑인지를 묻는다.

『설이』는 얼마나 아이를 키우기 힘든지에 관한 어른들의 이야기뿐인 현실에서, 아이들이 얼마나 자라기 힘든지에 대한 이야기를 아이의 시선으로 풀어낸 소설이다. 『설이』를 읽는 독자들은 ‘아이를 위해서’라는 말 뒤에 숨은 이기적인 사랑이 아닌, 대가를 바라지 않는 무조건적인 사랑이 무엇인지, 그리고 진짜 사랑은 무엇이어야 하는지 경험할 수 있을 것이다.
