FairyHighRoad There was definitely a sense of duty to family before love at the beginning of the book. Marriage was more of a business arrangement that could benefit families. As the book went on, the younger generation looked for love and companionship rather than beneficial arrangements. 8y
REPollock The arranged marriage of Sunja's parents Hoonie and Yangjin struck me as a very positive, supportive relationship for those characters. I kept what-iffing how things would have been different for Sunja & her children if she'd agreed to be Hansu's 2nd wife instead of accepted the marriage she did. Financial stability would have been easier but he was so violent. 8y
