Already a wildly popular bestseller in South Korea, this gripping
and passionate debut novel is a death row love story of crime,
punishment, and forgiveness--vividly told by the exquisitely
talented Gong Ji-young.
Yu-Jung, beautiful, wealthy, and bright, is lying in her hospital
bed, recovering from her third suicide attempt, when she receives a
life-changing visit. Her no-nonsense aunt, a nun, appears by her
side and suggests Yu-Jung accompany her on a charitable visit to
death row. At her lowest ebb, Yu-Jung is resistant. But something
compels her to go to the prison. There she meets Yun-Soo, a
convicted murderer who will soon be put to death. Though she is
repulsed by his crimes, something about the depth of his suffering
strikes a chord in her. Shaken by their encounter, she returns to
visit him the next week. And the next...
Through their weekly, hour-long meetings, Yu-Jung and Yun-Soo
slowly reveal to each other the dark secrets of their pasts and the
hidden traumas that have shaped their lives. In doing so they form
a deep, unbreakable bond, helping one another overcome their
demons. But Yun-Soo's hands are always in cuffs, the prison
officers are always in the background, and they can never lose
sight of the fact that their happy time together is tragically
brief.
Gracefully poetic and ideal for fans of Kyung-Sook Shin's "Please
Look After Mother," "Our Happy Time "is a passionate and
heartbreaking love story as well as an important, hard-hitting, and
compassionate fable.
