Not a book I would normally pick up, but so glad I did. It follows 4 generations of a Korean family that move to Japan. The writing is vivid ( I feel like I've been to the street markets and sat at their table) yet somehow unemotional. The straightforwardness can shock you, leaving you to reel in your feelings without anything to hold onto. Watch out for that.

I got attached and I'm sorry it ended.
