Translating Women: Different Voices and New Horizons | Luise von Flotow, Farzaneh Farahzad

Pickpick

I really enjoyed this quiet novel set in Seoul. Jihye is a sympathetic ordinary worker who starts to gain confidence & friends when some colleagues start a small action group to disrupt the authorities. We follow the friends‘ stories & slowly discover jihye‘s history. It‘s subtle but a good sense of place, cleanly written (& translated) & nice mix of uplifting encounters with some dark undertones. #witmonth

Hey #foodandlit friends! The August buddy read for Japan is on sale now! This sounds super cute and will also work for Women in Translation month if you like to double up on those challenges.
