THE WHITE BOOK becomes a meditation on the color white, as well as a fictional journey inspired by an older sister who died in her mother's arms, a few hours old. The narrator grapples with the tragedy that has haunted her family, an event she colors in stark white--breast milk, swaddling bands, the baby's rice cake-colored skin--and, from here, visits all that glows in her memory: from a white dog to sugar cubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAs the writer reckons with the enormity of her sister's death, Han Kang's trademark frank and chilling prose is softened by retrospection, introspection, and a deep sense of resilience and love. THE WHITE BOOK--ultimately a letter from Kang to her sister--offers powerful philosophy and personal psychology on the tenacity and fragility of the human spirit, and our attempts to graft new life from the ashes of destruction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Print on demand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48091796373721,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9902\/4857\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_843d1bbf-d506-4aec-862d-7cf1e4673a67.png?v=1772701540","url":"https:\/\/bookdiscovery.store\/products\/the-white-book-by-han-kang","provider":"Bookdiscovery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
