Book description
Winner of The Nobel Prize in Literature 2024Translated by e. yaewon and Paige Aniyah MorrisLike a long winter's dream, this new novel by Han Kang takes us on a journey from contemporary South Korea into its painful history.'Han Kang is one of the most powerfully gifted writers in the world' Katie Kitamura, author of IntimaciesOne morning in December, Kyungha is called to her friend Inseon's hospital bedside. Airlifted to Seoul for an operation following a wood-chopping accident, Inseon is bedridden and begs Kyungha to take the first plane to her home on Jeju Island to feed her pet bird, who will quickly die unless it receives food.Unfortunately, as Kyungha arrives a snowstorm hits. Lost in a world of snow, she begins to wonder if she will arrive in time to save the bird - or even survive the terrible cold that envelops her with every step. But she doesn't yet suspect the darkness which awaits her at her friend's house.There, the long-buried story of Inseon's family surges into light, in dreams and memories passed from mother to daughter, and in a painstakingly assembled archive, documenting the terrible massacre seventy years before that saw 30,000 Jeju civilians murdered.We Do Not Part is a hymn to friendship, a eulogy to the imagination, and above all a powerful indictment against forgetting.
