Byeoreogok, whose name means a valley of partings, is a little halt on a branch line that is slowly being abandoned. The people who live and work around it carry pasts full of wounds from Korea's twentieth century and will not let them be forgotten. Their stories unfold one after the other, like episodes of an omnibus film, through autumn, summer, winter and spring, as if the reader were riding a slow train back through time.
