Description
Those who survived the civilian genocide during the Korean War try to keep the dead within their memories, while the government urges them to forget. This novel tells the story of a nation through the tale of a single family.
However, the novel is not a mere archival text that holds little known historical facts. Instead, it takes a step forward to emphasize the fate of individuals who confront the violence caused by warfare and conflict between ideologies.
