    Kathie's Reviews : City of Ash and Red

    U.S.A.

    Nov 23, 2018

    Feb 6, 2018

    The Hole was only the second book by a Korean author I read, the first being The Vegetarian. Perhaps it's a coincidence, but both of these books seemed to have similar themes (plants being almost revered and (view spoiler)) along with a shared eerie vibe...
