My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What a pleasurable read. Written in the early 1940s, a Korean novel taking place almost entirely in Manchuria (Harbin), which had been colonized by the Japanese (as Korea had been at the time). The story itself has more to do with relationships and love and life in general, with an ending that was beautiful in its own way (although very abrupt).
Also, kudos to the translator and editor for including notes at the end of each chapter, which really helped.
