“My mom wakes me in the middle of the night. “If you are on a sinking ship,” she says, “Don’t trust anybody. Don’t listen to anybody.” 🖤 “South Korean Ferry Accident” by E. J. Koh 고은지
Nothing about this book is predictable…Some of the tension eventually slackens, but the novel seamlessly blends the personal with the political.
