| Summary: | Kwon Ji-ye¿s April Fish is unique in that it combines innocent and pure love with crime and mystery, almost like Love Story meets The Silence of the Lambs. Seoin, a novelist and yoga instructor, and Seonu, a freelance photographer and lecturer at college, meet for a magazine interview and immediately fall in love. The first half of the novel portrays the meeting of a beautiful man and woman and the story of their passionate love affair. Up to this point the novel seems like a typical romance but soon a dark shadow falls on them. Seoin receives threatening calls and e-mails, and another university student who is in love with Seonu disappears. At the same time, secrets and suspicion that surround Seonu¿s past like a fog leads Seoin to the torment of anxiety and doubt. However, Seonu is not the only one with secrets. Seoin also has memories of pain that are equal to Seonu¿s: The mother who disappeared when she was a child, an ecstatic yet terrible incident she experienced as a teenager and a son she had with a married man whom she raised as her nephew. Their fatal love which takes place "despite everything" finally ends with the death of one of them. |
