I'm still reading this but I am throughly enjoying this recommendation by a bookseller. Linda, the owner of my local indie bookstore has never let me down with her picks.

Much like Han Kang‘s The Vegetarian, this quiet book is an enlightening portrayal of a woman dealing with societal pressures and expectations. In a strong patriarchal society like Korea, women have to face daily ‘casual‘ sexism & misogyny. This controversial book (and film) has stirred up a fierce debate about gender inequality in Korea. A story that must be told.

LiteraryinLawrence This has been on my TBR list, but the comparison to The Vegetarian scares me. Is this one gruesome? 4y

erzascarletbookgasm @batsy I‘ve not watched the movie, only the trailer, but of course there‘re some differences between the two. Here‘s the trailer https://youtu.be/uUqsGBspxU4 4y

batsy @erzascarletbookgasm Thanks for the link 😘 4y

erzascarletbookgasm @LiteraryinLititz Oh nothing gruesome at all. It‘s reminiscent of The Vegetarian in terms of themes - mental health, society expectations, etc. One can say this is a feminist novel. 4y

erzascarletbookgasm @Kalalalatja I hope you‘ll like it when you get to it. You can watch the trailer 👆 4y
