The Silence of Bones wasn’t one of those books that are actively bad. Themes and Representation-★★★★☆ (3.75 Stars) – Too many “sudden revelations” on the Seol’s part – Cast larger than Hur can capably handle – Themes and content struggle to come together in a cohesive whole Mentions of suicide and animal slaughter. Period and culturally specific sexism and classism, including indentured servitude and branding. Genre-typical descriptions of violence, murder, torture, mutilation, and gore. Published by Macmillan Publishers / Feiwel and Friends Imprint A home where there was no more sorrow or tears, no more deaths or farewells. The home Brother had told me about, I had dreamed of arriving there one day. I had grown up under the memory of my brother’s stories of home, and in the twelve years that had passed without him, I realized that I had been waiting, that I had never truly left Heuksan Island.
