"Stunningly beautiful. . . one of the smartest reflections on what it means to remember those we've lost."--NPR
Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize, Han Kang's The White Book is a meditation on color, as well as an attempt to make sense of her older sister's death, who died in her mother's arms just a few hours after she was born.
