I will be there

Author's Name: Kyung-sook Shin

“There will be a novel that will compel you to read it to the end. Sheen’s storytelling talent is extraordinary.” —New York Times Book Review “Now you and I are crossing a deep, dark river. Every time a tremendous weight presses down on us, the water rises up to our throats, and we want to give up, to slip beneath the surface, remember that the world we walk through is no less heavy than the load on our shoulders. Earthly beings, unfortunately, cannot free themselves from gravity. Life demands constant sacrifice and difficult decisions from us at every moment. Life is not about crossing a void of nothingness, but rather traversing a web of intricate relationships between beings, each with its own weight, size, and shape. As long as everything keeps changing, our sense of hope must never die. And so, I leave you all with one final thought: Live… Live to your very last breath… Love, fight, rage, suffer, and live.”
