Once around the sun
Once around the sun | Melanie Steyn
1 post | 1 read
“Once Around the Sun introduces the Lee family: Dong-ju, the 12 year old son―boisterous, exuberant and curious; Ji-young, the 16-year-old daughter, ripped from childhood and thrown into an adult world too soon; Yun-hwa, defined as a wife and a mother, but searching to be just herself; and Kyu-ah, the grandmother, looking back on a life full of heartache, but also forward to the legacy she will leave through her family. Each chapter represents a season and covers the story of one member of the family. These start out as simple tales of ordinary life, but soon unfold into extraordinary accounts of spiritual awakening.” ―Marilyn Roberts, Semyeung

Once around the sun | Melanie Steyn

Having traveled South Korea twice now, this book (purchased in a nice small book store in Seoul) tells the story of four Korean seasons and generations. Adorable story rich with Korean culture. Must-read for those who have fallen in love with South Korea as I have.
