Anne's Reviews > Folklorn

Elsa, despite her dysfunctional Korean family, has become a particle physicist. However, the folktales her mother told her when she was a child seem to have worked their way into her research. In addition, the stillborn child that was born between Elsa and her older brother Chris, may actually still be alive somewhere. And as if that isn't enough, Elsa has an Imaginary friend that only she can see, with red ribbons in her hair, that is following her around and seems entwined in both the myths and the story about her sister somehow. Despite a slow a confusing start, the Korean mythology is interesting and the end is compelling if you can get there.
