I hated this book so much!
Yeong-hye decides to be a vegetarian (actually vegan) after having a dream. She is not a good "vegetarian" she doesn't eat, she puts down a lot of weight, stops eating and replaces food with water? She is divorced, hit, force-fed meat, abandoned by her family, and finally admitted into a mental hospital all for being a "vegetarian".
