I loved this companion piece to Human Acts. That one is still my favourite Han Kang so far, but this compliments it nicely.

The atmosphere is dreamlike and fraught with emotion. Han's use of snow in this book genuinely gave me the chills in multiple ways. Kyungha's frantic journey through a snowstorm to reach Inseon's remote house on Jeju reminded me of bizarre nightmares I've had, where I'm desperately trying to get somewhere on time but just can't seem to. 

The way Inseon gradually reveals her family's history with the Jeju massacre was devastating. Han is masterful at weaving together Korean history, generational trauma and female friendship.
