Majhno mesto, velika skrivnost. Nekako tako bi lahko opisali Wind Gap, mestece na ameriškem srednjem vzhodu, rojstno mesto novinarke Camille. Po dolgem času se vrne, da bi za svoj časopis raziskala nenavaden umor in izginotje dveh deklic. Camille ve, da pod na videz idealistično krinko malega mesteca, kjer se vsi poznajo, brbotajo zamere in deviacije, zato se z odporom odpravi domov. Njena mama, bogata dedinja ogromne prašičje farme, je do nje hladna, medtem ko se do njene mlajše pol sestre Amme vede čudaško. Bolj ko Camille brska po odnosih v mestu, bolj se ji razkriva zamolčana, temačna družinska zgodovina, hkrati pa tudi osrčje teme, ki prepreda neraziskana umora.

Bold, sophisticated, engaging, and startlingly modern, Buncheong ceramics emerged as a distinct Korean art form in the 15th and 16th centuries, only to be eclipsed on its native ground for more than 400 years by the overwhelming demand for porcelain. Elements from the Buncheong idiom were later revived in Japan, where its spare yet sensual aesthetic was much admired and where descendants of Korean potters lived and worked. This innovative study features 60 masterpieces from the renowned Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art in Seoul, as well as objects from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and presents current scholarship on Buncheong's history, manufacture, use, and overall significance. The book illustrates why this historical art form continues to resonate with Korean and Japanese ceramists working today and with contemporary viewers worldwide.
