This was .... Fine? The images were compelling, especially in part 2, but I never felt that I was moved by it. I didn't find the writing particularly beautiful either, nowhere close to the white book. 

I realize that this might just be the point, but it felt odd to name the book after this character and follow her through this journey but never to learn more. We just see different kinds of violence inflicted on Yeong-Hye as people refuse to listen to her. Its like Kang is dangling the promise of understanding her and seeing her resolution in front of the pov characters/readers but they/we never get there. 

If not, and I'm just missing something, I feel like now that I know where it's all headed I could probably glean more in a reread.
