Description 작품 소개

This novel by Kim Soom was published in 2013. It deals with the conflict between a younger woman and her mother-in-law, who gradually dries up like a fossil as a result. In its portrayal of a woman being insulted by her daughter-in-law, the novel flips the script on the convention of the mother’s sacred place in Korean society, and explores how economic pressures contribute to the deterioration of human relationships.
