"one of the most profound and skilled writers working on the contemporary world stage." - deborah levy beginning one morning in december, *we do not part* traces kyungha's journey as she travels from the city of seoul into the forests of jeju island, to the home of her old friend inseon.

hospitalized following an accident, inseon has begged kyungha to hurry there to feed her beloved pet bird, who will otherwise die. Kyungha boards the first plane to jeju, but a snowstorm hits the island the moment she arrives, plunging her into a world of white. Beset by icy winds and snow squalls, she wonders if she will arrive in time to save the bird - or even survive the terrible cold that envelops her with every step. As night falls, she struggles her way to inseon's house, unaware as yet of the descent into darkness which awaits her. There, the long-buried story of inseon's family surfaces, in dreams and memories passed down from mother to daughter, and in a painstakingly assembled archive documenting a terrible massacre on the island seventy years prior. We do not part is a hymn to friendship, an ode to the imagination, and above all, a indictment against forgetting. A vital voice and an extraordinary human being, translated by e.
