Fiction. Literature. HTML:??A love story between friends. It is so well written. [Kyung-sook Shin] has this use of language that is just beautiful and poetic. It??s a great book if you??re looking to escape.? ??Chelsea Handler, #1 New York Times bestselling author
/> How friendship, European literature, and a charismatic professor defy war, oppression, and the absurd

 
Set in 1980s South Korea amid the tremors of political revolution, I??ll Be Right There follows Jung Yoon, a highly literate, twenty-something woman, as she recounts her tragic personal history as well as those of her three intimate college friends. When Yoon receives a distressing phone call from her ex-boyfriend after eight years of separation, memories of a tumultuous youth begin to resurface, forcing her to re-live the most intense period of her life. With profound intellectual and emotional insight, she revisits the death of her beloved mother, the strong bond with her now-dying former college professor, the excitement of her first love, and the friendships forged out of a shared sense of isolation and grief.
 
Yoon??s formative experiences, which highlight both the fragility and force of personal connection in an era of absolute uncertainty, become immediately palpable. Shin makes the foreign and esoteric utterly familiar: her use of European literature as an interpreter of emotion and experience bridges any gaps between East and West. Love, friendship, and solitude are the same everywhere, as this book ma… (mais)

Ocho largos años de silencio. Pero, después de oír su voz, Yun no puede evitar que los recuerdos la embarguen y la transporten a la época en que era una joven y solitaria universitaria en Seúl.
Pero esa soledad se trunca al conocer a una pareja formada por un chico de aspecto decidido y una muchacha que se esfuerza por esconder sus manos quemadas y ocultar las heridas de un pasado reciente. Esos jóvenes marcados por sus dolorosas historias familiares, la soledad, el dolor y la pérdida, ahora se refugian unos en otros, también unidos por la admiración que comparten por su viejo profesor de literatura.

To be read and reread, definitely!
I am fascinated by Koreans, they have character depth, forgiveness ideology, and their stories are quite emotional.
I don't know where to start; I'm in love with all of the characters, with all of their goods and bads, they're very real. I felt physically there on the streets they walked on, the places they visited. I laughed, frowned, smiled and cried with them. But the crying was very different from any other literary crying I've experienced, it was a gradual overwhelming and lingering crying experience, and I LOVED it! I am ready to read more of Shin's books ♥ ( )

One of the best books I've read all year. ( )

First I liked it, then I didn't like it much, but by the end, I loved it. We get to know Jung Yoon, and some of her friends while she is in college in Korea. We get brief glimpses of her childhood, and don't get to really know her or her friends, just what has happened to them. I found it to be rather depressing, but not in a bad way, if that makes sense. I wanted to know what happened next, and especially how it all came together in the end. I will read it again. ( )

To me, I'll Be Right There was more of a feeling than it was a story. I wasn't reading words as much as I was reading someone's hard felt emotions. Reading and feeling, for a while, became one and entirely the same. It was romantic, tragic, cryptic, and painful. It was beautiful and it was ugly - it was honest. ( )

Who is that weeping, if not simply the wind,
At this sole hour, with ultimate diamonds?… But who Weeps, so close to myself on the brink of tears?
