by Elisa Shua Dusapin (Author), Aneesa Abbas Higgins (Translator)
-BUILDING ON SUCCESS: Amazing review coverage for the UK edition of the book, despite coming out in the middle of COVID-19
-FOR FANS OF: Sayaka Murata, Marguerite Duras, and Han Kang. The novel is understated, lyric, emotional, and haunting, and establishes Dusapin as one of the preeminent up-and-coming young female writers of our time.
-AUTHOR BACKSTORY: Born in France to a French father and Korean mother, Dusapin currently lives in Switzerland, writing in French about South Korea. This multi-nationalism will appeal to a lot of readers, and adds a depth to her depiction of Korean life.
-A PUNCHY, QUICK READ: This book can-and frequently will-be read in a single sitting, given how compelling and fast-paced it is.
