My first #24in48 finish! This novel is based on the traditional Korean legend of Princess Bari. Hwang Sok-Yong is a well known and well regarded Korean author, and he reimagined Bari‘s tale in the present time. Bari survives the North Korean famine by fleeing to China and eventually makes the harrowing trip to London. She uses her special abilities to read the pain of others as a foot masseuse. #intranslation #earlyreviewers #2019release
