Description
In a privatized country called “Town,” the discovery of Su’s body in an abandoned car ignites suspicion that the culprit may be connected to the Saha Estates. Within this fictional world, two troubled siblings, Do-kyung and Jin-kyung, are taken in by the Sahas, only to find that safety comes with unspoken rules and moral compromises. Told through a character-driven, montage-like structure of interlocking lives, the novel explores how power, wealth, and institutional control shape identity, family bonds, and the stories people tell themselves to survive. With Cho Nam-Joo’s incisive, emotionally charged style, the book blends dystopian unease with intimate psychological realism, asking what it really means to belong—and what it costs when belonging is engineered.
