Simcheong: She Who Carried Names, (Paperback)

<p>This is not a story about a good daughter.</p><p>It is a story about a child who went beneath the sea, entered the world of the forgotten dead, and returned carrying names.</p><p>In this literary retelling of the Korean tale of Simcheong, Peter Park turns away from the familiar legend of sacrifice and obedience. There is no Dragon King waiting below the waves. No glittering palace. No simple reward for suffering.</p><p>Instead, beneath the sea lies a quiet world of those who have been forgotten-people whose names were lost, whose grief was left behind, whose stories were never carried home.</p><p>Simcheong does not go there because she is pure. She does not return because she has been blessed.</p><p>She goes because there are names no one else will carry.</p><p>Written with restraint, silence, and the rhythm of an old tale remembered differently, Simcheong: She Who Carried Names is a mythic literary retelling about memory, grief, return, and the strange courage of a child who learns that seeing is not always done with the eyes.</p>
