Description

In the beautiful summer, we can’t help but immerse ourselves in the wave-like stories that unfold.
The novel 'Aquarium' observes a profoundly beautiful and heart-wrenching tale of love for the abandoned, depicted in a lyrical style with vividly tangible scenes. This allows readers to be instantly transported back to the hot summer of 2003, where they secretly watched each other. By the time we can even feel the humid touch unique to summer at our fingertips while holding the book, we find ourselves standing right in the middle of a full monsoon. Among them, the story of characters who have experienced great loss and are inevitably using each other's presence to overcome that void poignantly teaches us how love should be connected. In particular, this deep understanding of the abandoned provides great courage to face our past, confronting its darker aspects. Ultimately, the novel 'Aquarium' can be said to imbue a gentle power that encourages readers to reflect on what their own 'aquarium' was, what swims and is trapped within it, and how they can move from that aquarium to the sea through the process of the characters breaking free.
