White Book by Han Kang - 9780525573074

The White Book by Han Kang, shortlisted for the International Booker Prize, is a meditation on the color white and a deeply personal exploration of grief. The novel is written in the form of intense, poetic prose, as Kang reflects on the death of her older sister, who died just hours after birth, and the subsequent impact on her life. Through the symbolic use of white—often associated with purity, loss, and memory—the book examines the fragility of human life and the painful process of remembering those we've lost. With themes of personal mourning and emotional devastation, the novel is both formally daring and politically poignant, offering an intimate and heartbreaking look at the ways we cope with grief and loss.
