About This Book

This is Eun's first collection of short stories. In these nine stories, Eun gives a gentle, funny, and yet critical treatment of the problematical relationship between women and romance. The heroines, often pained with the vicissitudes of failed love and doomed marriages, eventually find their salvation by rejecting traditional myths of romance. However, Eun's fictional exposure into the secret side of love never becomes fatalistic or cynical. Instead, her honest stories create a pathos that leads the reader towards sympathy, sensitivity and above all else recognition.
