Another good book from the wonderful author of Vegetarian. In fact, it is the Korean version of familiar, well-known events that are not very shocking for those who read the books of the witnesses of Turkey's history of coups. Seeing that democracy was damaged by the military's coup in 1980, the people (young people, unions, etc.) revolted. People are killed and buried in mass graves. Young people in the prime of their lives are introduced to the smell of corpses. In the 2000s, witnesses of those times are interviewed and we read both those days and the witness statements. We read about the uprising, capture, interrogations and prison life through the eyes of our characters. We also watch what happened in that process through the eyes of those who died. Where and how missing people disappeared. It was a clearly written, understandable book.
