A novel by Cho Chang-in. What does a father’s love look like? A mother’s love has been depicted countless times, and there is no doubt that it evokes empathy. However, it is difficult to express what a father’s love might look like. This book helps us gauge a father’s love—a love of noble self-sacrifice hidden deep within, though it never reveals its true feelings. That is why a father’s love is all the more poignant and beautiful.

A father stickleback who cares for the young in place of the mother stickleback—who lays her eggs and leaves—and ultimately sacrifices his own body. The protagonist, Jeong Ho-yeon, is such a father. His son, who is his whole life, has been diagnosed with leukemia. Moreover, there is no hope left unless he receives a bone marrow transplant. What is the best thing he can do for his son? This book captures the father’s noble love—a love so profound that he would gladly let his own body be torn apart and devoured, if only it meant saving his son.
