Description 작품 소개
Author Yang Gwi-ja's third full-length novel, published in 1998, achieved first place on the bestseller list immediately after its release, and even in the 2020s, more than 10 years after the initial publication, it continues to be loved by readers, reaching its 132nd printing.
For 25-year-old unmarried woman Ahn Jin-jin, her life revolves around her mother who sells undergarments in the market, her father who occasionally returns home in a state of disappearance, and her younger brother who dreams of becoming a boss in the underworld. Jin-jin also has an aunt who is her mother's twin sister, and the divergent fates of her mother and aunt make Jin-jin ponder how to understand her life.
Yang Gwi-ja's nimble and delicate prose vividly portrays the lives of the characters, and through the earnest observation of life by Jin-jin, the novel suggests to readers that life is something to be explored even at the risk of one's entire existence.
