Concerning My Daughter

Love this on Kim Hye-jin's brilliant novel, trans. from Korean by Jamie Chang: 'Concerning My Daughter turns into a confrontation — not just between Green and her mother, but also between Green's mother and the reader. Understanding, in this book, has to come from all sides.' https://t.co/ApvUIEeBs0
