“Read this book
Wu Xiaole has written so far and will write in the future.
I decided to read all the books.”

After graduating from the Department of Law at Seoul National University and National Taiwan University in Taiwan,
A writer who rejected the guaranteed legal life and decided to breathe in society.
The best problematic mystery of our time by Xiaole Wu.

A novel by Xiaole Wu, a writer who looks at East Asian society through a microscope. This is the story of a lawyer, Pan Yanzhong, who discovers and uncovers the underside of his wife, whom he thought was no secret. Pan Yanzhong pursues her sudden disappearance of her wife, Wu Xin Ping, and learns that her Wu Xin Ping has been a victim of sexual violence in the past.

Wu Xiaole sharply digs into the nature of education and parent-child relationships, from the short story collection 『Your Child is Not Your Child』, which was also produced as a Netflix drama, to the full-length novel 『Upper Child』, causing great social repercussions and spreading the word. He is a world-acclaimed author.

『We have no secrets』 is Wu Xiao-le’s representative work. A weighty and controversial socialist mystery that deals with the truthfulness of sexual violence victims, starting with the sudden disappearance of lawyer Pan Yanzhong’s wife. Wu Xiao-le is an excellent writer for digging into topics that are taboo in society, and has a high reputation as a social critic, so this work was evaluated as a ‘novel that only Wu Xiao-le can write’. This work makes readers look into their inner prejudices and deeply reflect on the nature of understanding others, and digs to the bottom of how deeply society treats sexual violence with prejudice and judges victims.

5 reviews for We Have No Secrets

  1. Khalid Nour from Berlin, Deutschland –

    Eine Welle unüberwindlicher Emotionen begleitet diese tiefgreifende Erzählung. Ein Kampf für das Unausgesprochene und der Beweis, dass Wahrheiten nicht immer allein gehört werden müssen. Mutige Charaktere lehren uns die Last übersehener Schrecken zu entblättern – niemand bleibt davon unbeeinflusst.

  2. Oskar – Uppsala, Sweden –

    Boken hade en spännande handling. Den var lätt att läsa och engagerade mig direkt. Karaktärerna kändes verkliga, särskilt huvudpersonen som är advokat. Gillar hur den utforskar tysta trauman och samhällsnormer kring dem.

  3. Lucas Jenson from Toronto, Canada –

    ‘We Have No Secrets’ dismantles the silence surrounding trauma, urging both victims and society to embrace their narratives instead of burying them. A gripping read that fuels deep conversation about vulnerability.

  4. Claudia Ortiz Navarro from Barcelona, España –

    La complejidad del relato engancha. La narrativa, rica en matices emocionales, destila una tensión palpable que va más allá de la pérdida y la redención. Refleja verdades crudas sobre el silencio y las cargas invisibles.

  5. Isabella Jovanovic from Zagreb, Croatia –

    In ‘We Have No Secrets’, despair weaves through every page. A haunting exploration of trauma and hidden truths leaves the heart aching yet enlightened.
