Han Kang's The White Book is a meditation on color, as well as an attempt to make sense of her older sister's death, who died in her mother's arms just a few hours after she was born. In captivating, starkly beautiful language, The White Book is a letter from Kang to her sister, offering a multilayered exploration of color and its absence, and of the tenacity and fragility of the human spirit.
