Description
The Waiting by Keum Suk Gendry-Kim is a powerful and moving graphic novel that explores the complexities of family, identity, and belonging. Based on the author's own experiences with her mother, who was separated from her sister during the Korean War, this story delves into the emotional and psychological impact of such separation. Seventy years after being torn apart, Gwija, an elderly woman, is still searching for her brother, driven by a promise she made to help him. This poignant tale of love, loss, and longing is told through the eyes of Jina, Gwija's novelist daughter, who recounts her mother's story with remarkable nuance and sensitivity. Expertly translated from Korean by Janet Hong, The Waiting is a deeply resonant and devastating follow-up to Keum Suk Gendry-Kim's previous work, Grass.
