Description 작품 소개

“You need courage to stand from high places.” A coming of age novel for everyone who has a conflicted heart Winner of the 2020 Changbi Prize for Young Adult Fiction Yuwon is a 17-year-old high school student with a past. 12 years ago, she survived a horrific apartment fire. The cigarette butt of the elderly gentleman living above them grew into an inferno that engulfed their apartment. Yuwon’s older sister wrapped Yuwon in a damp blanket and threw her from the 11-story balcony as onlookers stared on in horror from below. The memories and scenes of that day imbedded themselves deep in Yuwon’s heart. This story begins with the anniversary of Yuwon’s sister’s birthday. Yuwon’s family finds comfort knowing that Yuwon’s sister was able to celebrate her last birthday just days before dying. But Yuwon feels intense guilt over the fact that her sister, whom everyone liked, died saving her. Remembering her sister’s sacrifice, Yuwon feels she must live a happy life and try twice as hard at everything. But Yuwon feels conflicted over the fact that people still speak so fondly of her sister even though she has been dead for 12 years. Slowly, Yuwon begins to resent the praise for her sister. In this way, this book tells the story of Yuwon, a girl living in ambiguity, neither victim nor perpetrator. Confronted by anonymous comments posted on 12-year-old articles about the fire, and neighbors who still remember Yuwon as a “fire survivor,” the “blanket baby,” or “a miracle,” Yuwon only sees absurdities in the world. How will Yuwon confront these inner demons?
