- Summary
- After being released from a prisoner-of-war camp at the end of the Korean War, 25-year-old North Korean Yohan decides to go to Brazil, since (you'll eventually learn) nothing and no one awaits him at home. In Brazil, Yohan's relationships are minimal and restrained (and haunted by his harrowing war experiences); it's only as time passes that Yohan starts to truly reach out to others. At only 192 pages despite themes of connection and the aftermath of war, the precisely worded <i>Snow Hunters</i> packs memorable literary heft. - Description by Shauna Griffin
