여인들과 진화하는 적들

The novel brings back the many Korean mothers who lived like ghosts, and shows how deeply money has seeped into what was thought untouchable. A mother-in-law protects herself by freezing like a chameleon when she meets an enemy; her daughter-in-law works low-wage service jobs where she can be replaced at any time; the man between them, son and husband, cares for no one but himself. Their family falls apart in an uncanny way.
