Unknown woman

Lee Kwang-soo

This is a short story collection by the novelist Lee Kwang-soo. In a poor winter, the narrator returns to their hometown and faces the lonely life endured by their elderly grandfather and young sister. Beside them was a nameless woman who offered help. However, that grateful presence remains in memory with an inexplicable secret at some point. **"The Unknown Woman"** is a work that quietly yet powerfully depicts the lingering effects of poverty, compassion, and ultimately unknowable human relationships.
