Lemon by Kwon Yeo-Sun - Book Summary, Analysis, Review
Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Was there a theme or meaning you wanted us to talk about further? Let us know in the comments below! I'm sure we all want the ending explained and to know "what does it mean"? We've seen lots of book reviews so we thought we'd go against the grain for those who have read the book and want to have a spoiler book discussion. Lots of interesting things to discuss in this book with poverty, class, beauty, and the meaning of life! Especially, that ending! We need to talk about what did Da-on do here! "Lemon" by Kwon Yeo-Sun was translated by Janet Hong.
