From the winner of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature, this haunting novel explores the weight of history and the enduring power of memory. The story follows Gyeong-ha, a writer who travels to Jeju Island to help her friend In-seon, who has been hospitalized after an accident. While caring for In-seon’s pet bird, Gyeong-ha uncovers the traumatic history of In-seon’s family, tied deeply to the Jeju Uprising of 1948.
