This is the first full-length novel published by author Yang Gwi-ja in 1990. It marks the author’s debut in the full-length novel genre; she had previously garnered attention in 1986 for her serialized novel *The People of Wonmi-dong*, which depicted the harsh social landscape of 1980s Korea with astonishing detail. The title of the first edition in 1990 was *Farewell, Night*, but it was reissued the following year under the title *Hope*. This change reflected the author’s desire to move beyond the metaphor of “Farewell, Night” and clearly embrace “Hope.”

This novel serves as a crucial guide to understanding Yang Gwi-ja’s literature, vividly demonstrating how her unique compassion and warm perspective, combined with her characteristically lively and uninhibited writing style, transform the rough and desolate vignettes of a turbulent era into a cohesive narrative.
