093 - The color of earth TRILOGY
written by Kim Dong Hwa
This three volume set of manga/graphic novels represents two love stories. The love story of a woman in rural Korea, and the love story of her young daughter. (If I remember correctly, in the notes, these are based on true stories.)
The Color of Earth is vol.1
The Color of Water is vol.2
The Color of Heaven is the final volume, vol.3.
My biggest surprise after completing the stories, is the bio profile of the author. The story is told from the point of view of the daughter, and sometimes her mother. I expected the author to be female! Yet, the author is male. It just caught me by surprise.
