Full Circle Book Club: The White Book, by Han Kang

The White Book is a meditation on colour, beginning with a list of white things. It is a book about mourning, rebirth and the tenacity of the human spirit. It is a stunning investigation of the fragility, beauty and strangeness of life. From the author of The Vegetarian (2015) and Human Acts (2016) comes a book like no other.
