For ten long years, Aera devoted her life to a man who saw her only in the shadows of his busy days. When her silent love turned into silent suffering, she found herself falling into the arms of someone who promised affection, only to break her deeper than before.
Set against the vivid backdrop of modern Korean life, Aera: In the Mirror of Her Own Love is a hauntingly beautiful story of devotion, betrayal, and quiet resilience. It follows Aera’s journey as she loses herself in others’ expectations, learns the sharp pain of being unseen, and discovers that no love, no matter how intoxicating, can replace the love she owes herself.
Poetic, emotional, and empowering, this novel reminds every reader that true healing begins when we choose to become our own sanctuary.
