"At home in Seoul, former journalist Sae, is waiting with two clingy toddlers for her husband to come home from work. He has never been this late before. Her children are crying, and Sae, exhausted and anxious, turns on the TV to distract herself. She clicks to the news, which shows a horrific disaster, the collapse of a massive skyscraper where Jae was an engineer. Minutes, then hours, and then days pass. No one has seen Jae, but things aren't adding up. There are rumors that the foundation was unstable. Jae, who was working on a luxury pool at the top floor, was reported to have been working in the basement. The government was involved, the contractors missing. Sae-who met Jae when they were students at an anti-government protest and has relied on him as her guiding and steadying hand-is troubled, terrified, and...suspicious. Leaving the children with her estranged mother, Sae sets out to uncover the truth of what happened to her husband. Her investigation takes her to an upscale club where the proprietor, Myonghee, is not merely supplying booze and girls but also seeking information, for her own purposes, from every drunken businessman who lets corporate secrets slip. As Sae and Myonghee begin to find what they sought, they must both ask themselves where accusation ends and guilt begins"--… (altro)

What begins as a story about anyone, going to work anywhere, quickly transforms into a story of the suppression of truth, both physical, ideological, and the race for survival. Although not my usual fiction vibe, Michell builds a story with passion and strength through underground resistance movements including protests in private and in public, in boycotts and straight up sabotage. A classic theme of the rich getting rich on the backs of those less fortunate, and the less fortunate rising to claim their human rights in any way they can. Michell got my inner passion for justice and equality lit with this one, and did it in a story that entertained as well.
*I received an arc through the publisher from NetGalley for an honest review ( )
