The book has also a dooming gloomy color. The interpretation of colours are very well perceived in the book. As I read, I could feel the blue, the moon light color and so on. Interestingly, she has a book entitled White. A good book too!
Right now the world is also swirling with uprising and it is healing yet painful to read this powerful book. Korea is a country that bears so much, yet managed to reflect, and give way to the light and future.
