this was a 3.5 stars for me
A tiny bit long but otherwise just gorgeous. I learned a lot...
Random beautiful sentences:
They were eleven years old. Together, Jisun and Namin practiced the art of being unfazed.
She always seemed to know what Namin was thinking yet still arrived at the wrong conclusion.
Apologies were never difficult for her anyway, because she had no fear of diminishment.
Of premonitions that carried equal measure of dread and comfort.

I enjoyed the read, the characters, and the slice of a time and place that I don't know much about. I didn't love how it ended, as I felt like the book was building up to something and then it was just a sort of "and life went on" kind of ending. But still a great read.
