Description
Set against the backdrop of 1940s colonial Korea and Japanese-occupied Manchuria, Endless Blue Sky tells the story of Ilma and Nadia, two cosmopolitan socialites navigating their way in a world of luxury hotels, racetracks, and cabarets. This novel is a thrilling melodrama that explores new ideas on love, marriage, and race. As the enthusiasm for the future was palpable in Korea at the time, Endless Blue Sky offers a glimpse into this era of optimism and glamour. The book's themes of cosmopolitanism, social change, and the complexities of human relationships are thought-provoking and engaging. Honford Star's edition of Endless Blue Sky includes an introduction and explanatory notes by translator Steven D. Capener, providing valuable context for readers new to the novel.
