THE SOUTH KOREAN SENSATION THAT HAS GOT THE WHOLE WORLD TALKING
'A ground-breaking work of feminist fiction' Stylist
Kim Jiyoung is a girl born to a mother whose in-laws wanted a boy. A female
preyed upon by male teachers at school. A daughter whose father blames her when
she is harassed late at night.
Kim Jiyoung is a model employee but gets overlooked for promotion. A wife who
gives up her career and independence for a life of domesticity.
Kim Jiyoung has started acting strangely.
Kim Jiyoung is depressed.
Kim Jiyoung is mad.
Kim Jiyoung is her own woman.
Kim Jiyoung is every woman.
The life story of one young woman born at the end of the twentieth century
raises questions about endemic misogyny and institutional oppression that are
relevant to us all. Riveting, original and uncompromising, this is the most
important book to have emerged from South Korea since Han Kang's The
Vegetarian.
