Description
Set against the sweeping upheavals of twentieth-century Korea, this richly imagined historical novel follows a cast of unforgettable characters whose lives intersect amid Japanese occupation, war, revolution, and the struggle for independence. At its center is Jade, a young woman whose journey from a rural village into Seoul’s theatrical world brings her into contact with artists, activists, aristocrats, and revolutionaries. Through their intertwined stories, the novel explores love, ambition, class, colonialism, friendship, and the enduring resilience of a people fighting to shape their own future. Lyrical and panoramic in scope, it offers an immersive portrait of a nation—and the individuals who survive its most turbulent transformations.
