In 'Bari, the abandoned princess', Hwang Sok-yong presents us with the story of a girl born in North Korea, the seventh daughter of a family that abandons her for not being a male. Rescued by her grandmother, Bari grows up marked by an ancestral legend and the harsh conditions of the communist regime. Forced to flee to China and then to London, Bari uses her premonitory powers to help others, in an odyssey of exile, loneliness and search for redemption. This coming-of-age novel intertwines the magical and the real, exploring themes of identity, culture, and the importance of the supernatural in Korean tradition.
Hwang Sok-yong is a South Korean novelist.
