This book had a deep impact on me

5 stars

This book caught my attention in th bookstore due to the cover (I love magpies) but my girfriendewho had read "The Vegetarian" recommended the author. The author managed to create a deep connection between me and the characters, I felt their hope and tragedy, like I have rarely experienced. And I learned a chapter of Korean history that I had not known about, but that is only on the side, this is not a Korean history book. Anyway, this changed how I view news of conflict and war, e.g. recently the Ukraine war. Usually I am a very rational and not the most empathetic person, I followed the war from a point of view of military strategy and tactics, but this book encouraged me to think about all the suffering, all the courage and anl the "human acts" that are hidden from puplic view but surely must be happening.
