Mira is haunted by the death of her mother and her specially abled sibling. Mira believes Yuchan’s mother Jiwon’s cruel insults to her mother was the reason for the mishap which robs her of her family. Her thirst for vengeance leads her to drastic steps which unfold in the story.
The book is in the form of journal or letter entries – more of a confession to crime or guilt. Each character has their own perspective of the crime and the cascading effect it has not only in its own family but unknowingly in other families.
This book should be skipped by the faint hearted as there is a vivid description of animal cruelty. The sheer audacity of the killer to crunch on the voiceless innocent animals – it’s a difficult part to read yet you will not be able to skip.
