Inseon has injured herself in an accident, and she begs Kyungha to return to Jeju Island, where she lives, to save her beloved pet--a white bird called Ama. A snowstorm hits the island when Kyungha arrives. She must reach Inseon's house at all costs, but the icy wind and squalls slow her down as night begins to fall. She wonders if she will arrive in time to save the animal--or even survive the terrible cold that envelops her with every step. Lost in a world of snow, she doesn't yet suspect the vertiginous plunge into darkness that awaits her at her friend's house. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBlurring the boundaries between dream and reality, \u003ci\u003eWe Do Not Part\u003c\/i\u003e powerfully brings to light the lost voices of the past to save them from oblivion. Both a hymn to an enduring friendship and an argument for remembering, it is the story of profound love in the face of unspeakable pain--and a celebration of life, however fragile it might be.","brand":"Random House Large Print Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049148563692,"sku":"9798217162741","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/2987\/3644\/files\/imageloader_6fa57e49-5aa2-47dc-a31a-db637fdab9fc.jpg?v=1764624426","url":"https:\/\/www.gladysbooksandwine.com\/products\/we-do-not-part-1","provider":"Gladys Books \u0026 Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
