(3.50/5)This is a sad little fairy tale about a little girl named Angela who has a hunchback. Angela's mother always tells her how beautiful she is, but after her mother dies of a sudden illness, her father sends her to live with a relative, who talks cruelly about Angela's appearance. The once happy and lively girl becomes sick with sorrow. An angel offers to take her to heaven, and Angela's hunchback transforms into a pair of wings, allowing her to fly to heaven to join her mother.
The story is rather straightforward, although not your typical kind of story. I really loved the beginning, it was rather wholesome, but the ending not so much, for the reasons explained above in Bibliothecary's review. It was still a nice story overall though.
Language wise, this story is relatively easy, grammar and vocab are simple. I'll save everyone some trouble however by just translating one word, hunchback is 꼽추 in Korean.
