Mi-sun Mun, 1966-

Book - 2024

"This is a cruel yet warm story about two main characters who bear the burden of illness and care alone, but do not give up on life and find a light of hope even in a reality where they are driven to the edge of a cliff. Myeong-ju, a woman in her 50s who cares for her mother with dementia, and Jun-seong, a young man in his 20s who cares for his father who has a stroke, are frustrated by a series of misfortunes and harsh reality, and when they face the unexpected death of their parents, they conceal and postpone handling the death. The author creates a persuasive narrative by three-dimensionally and meticulously depicting the process of decisions and choices they make at a dead end." --
