Winner of 2018 Hankyoreh Literature Award, this work is a fictional account of real-life labour activist, Kang Juryoung, who led a strike at the Pyongwon rubber factory in 1930s Pyongyang to protest working conditions. Reminiscent of Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace and Min Jin Lee's Pachinko, this hard-hitting historical fiction reimagines the unwritten story of a female working-class hero who loved and fought through Japanese-occupied Korea.
