About this listen
Gwangju, South Korea, 1980. Amid a violent student uprising, a young boy named Dong-ho is killed. As his friend searches for Dong-ho's corpse, we also meet an editor struggling against censorship, a prisoner and a factory worker, each suffering from traumatic memories, and Dong-ho's grief-stricken mother. Through their collective heartbreak and acts of hope comes a tale of a brutalized people in search of a voice.

'Exquisite, painful and deeply courageous.' (Philippe Sands, Best Books of the Year, Guardian)

'Powerful and disturbing ... lyrical and chilling.' (Mail on Sunday)
'[A] remarkable novel ... A technical and emotional triumph.' (Daily Telegraph)
