From one of the most important and acclaimed writers at work today, a thrilling new novel—part murder mystery, part love …
This is a family saga that follows a Korean family in Japan from before the WWII to the present day. The writing is simple, easy to read and interesting. Overall a good book, enlightening.
I've enjoyed it. A little slow and dry at times but the ending makes sense of everything. Do not expect a spy story.
I have read a few of Adele Parks' books and I love her style so I was more than happy to receive an ARC. This is a psychological thriller but with a different structure to those where the detective is personally involved in the mystery. Every character is well rounded, more so the women but it makes sense in the scheme of the book. The writing is fluid and always interesting as usual. I loved the feminist observations and the contrast between Leigh's and Kai's life. The ending did surprise me, I was expecting another chapter before the end. Overall a great book that I highly recommend!

This is a collection of cute comics about the first years of married life, without children. I found it pleasant to read and I like the illustrations, but I feel it lacks more depth - still, it's a nice read, it could be a good present for a wedding.
