Some novels do that work. They make the reader believe in the fictional characters and their loves. They make the reader support the characters’ determination. In the world filled with discrimination, hatred and violence, the appearance of this novel makes us embarrassed.
-----------Hyeon Kim, poet

A road movie combined with the story of chaos. In the middle of that chaos, ‘love’ is born. It’s the two women’s beautiful love story!
-----------Maeil Business Newspaper

As I was reading the book, what scared me more than the epidemic or possibility of human extinction was the true colors of people revealed when the order and system collapsed. But I could read it on without losing warm feelings because there was ‘love’ amid this terrible disaster.

“One day, the human race will come to an end and everything they made will turn to dust and ashes..
Even that day, people, you, and we will love one another.
The words of love left by innumerable people will drift across the Earth like wind or ghosts.
Love will live on, like the Universe that is here and will be here
even after everything disappears”

"Reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, To the Warm Horizon is a post-apocalyptic novel by the award-winning author, depicting a world ravaged by an unknown epidemic. The story focuses on the lives of survivors navigating through this calamity, spoken through the voices of four distinct characters: Ryu, Dori, Gina, and Geonji. Amidst the harsh realities, they seek answers to life's most fundamental questions: how to live and where to go. Through their journeys, they discover that even in a dire setting, the essence of life revolves around love and warmth, finding the possibility to live differently.

An unidentified virus invades every corner of the Earth, plunging the world into chaos. Death is rampant, and survivors embark on a long quest for safety. However, the virus isn't the only threat; as society crumbles, robbery, murder, and rape become the new norm.

Dori, left to fend for herself, journeys westward across Russia with her sister Miso, who is both deaf and mute. In an abandoned village, she encounters Gina, who travels with her father and relatives on trucks. For Dori, survival had always been the top priority, distrusting others and numbing her emotions to endure. Yet, with Gina, her heart begins to thaw, and a love story unfolds amidst the disaster."
