The perspectives of the perpetrator, the victim, and the bystander: Hyunju Lim's novel 'There Are No Four Seasons in That Classroom'.
Introduction to the book 'There Are No Four Seasons in That Classroom'.
Hypocrisy. Silence. Bystanding. And belated courage.
Three lives divided in one classroom.
Preview of the main text.
If Seoeun ever goes through something like Sua did, and if there is an adult who turns away from her, would I be able to forgive that adult?
As I looked at that small figure from behind, I thought that one day this child might grow up and remember today's conversation. If so, what kind of father would I want to remain in that memory? That question never left me.
Recommended for these readers.
☑️ For those who still feel troubled for not having spoken up back then.
☑️ For those who wondered why, after experiencing the same event in the same classroom, only their memory is different.
☑️ For those who, now as adults, want to create a different season in their child's classroom.
This book does not simply depict a single aspect of school violence. By shifting between the perspectives of the perpetrator, the victim, and the bystander, it delicately explores the layers of emotion hidden behind one incident.
Memories and feelings that remain completely different for each person, even after experiencing the same event in the same space.
Was it really only Sua, the victim, whose season was truly stolen in that classroom?
For some, it is a memory they want to turn away from; for others, a lifelong wound; and for others still, just a passing part of daily life. Sunbi Books invites you to experience this deep and profound resonance.

Author's Note
Even if people spend the same time in the same place, the memories that remain are completely different for each person. What was nothing to one person may never be erased for another. I write about the feelings that could never be conveyed across that gap.
