Summary: A novel about Antonina, a struggling young art student at the Academy of Art in St Petersburg. Antonina is neither Russian, Korean nor Kazakh, but a Koryo-saram, a descendant of the exiled population that Stalin labelled the Unreliable People. She is trying to find out just what that phrase means, and to solve the mystery of the strange woman who abducted her when she was a young child.
