Review: beautiful book - I have not finished the book, because it’s so wonderful I had to slow down to savour it more. Although some have called it self-indulgence on Author Kang’s part, I think the emotions expressed within 흰 are the kind that cannot be isolated from their owner. And because of that, I felt a perfect understanding with the author and the stories deeply touched my heart. Actually, someone I love very much who passed away last year read this book in its original Korean. As I am grieving for him now, I feel deeply connected and comforted by reading it. This book has moved me to tears, not by attachment to characters or by plot, but by the simple mode of expression which both stirs and soothes my grief. I believe it’s my first experience of the kind. I truly recommend this book to anyone softhearted, and especially anyone who has experienced deep grief.
Review: Almost Perfect. - Although there are one or two absolutely stunning passages, moving and poetic, I didn’t find it wholly satisfying. Maybe it has been over-hyped. I was expecting deeper insights but there was definitely enough there to remain with me and I will re-read it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful, delicate, complex book.
*by J***Y on 12 October 2022*

Is this a novel, poetry, a journal? Actually no, it's something else entirely. In a succession of small (sometimes tiny) vignettes, Han paints a picture of bereavement and loss. "White" is a thread that weaves through the text, but isn't really the point of it (other than, I believe, white is a colour representing death in Korea). The language is gentle, even economical. And yet, after a few pages I realised I wanted to go back to the beginning again and read slower (in the end, I read every page twice) just so I could savour all that was on offer. There's depth here: not "clever", but subtle. Wholeheartedly recommended. Just: take it slow.
