After acing her exams and sort-of convincing her traditional mother that it was a good idea for a woman to go to college, she looked forward to soaking up the ideas of Western Literature far from the drudgery she was promised at her family''s restaurant.

In this charged political climate, with Molotov cocktails flying and fellow students disappearing for hours and returning with bruises, Hyun Sook sought refuge in the comfort of books. When the handsome young editor of the school newspaper invited her to his reading group, she expected to pop into the cafeteria to talk about \u003ci\u003eMoby Dick, Hamlet,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Scarlet Letter.\u003c\/i\u003e Instead she found herself hiding in a basement as the youngest member of an underground banned book club.
