Riveting, original and uncompromising, this is the most important book to have emerged from South Korea since Han Kangâ€™s The Vegetarian.     Praise for Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 'It describes experiences that will be recognisable everywhere. Itâ€™s slim, unadorned narrative distils a lifetimeâ€™s iniquities into a sharp punch.â€™ The Sunday Times â€˜A ground-breaking work of feminist fictionâ€™ Stylist â€˜Along with other socially critical narratives to come out of Korea, such as Bong Joon-hoâ€™s Oscar-winning film Parasite, her story could change the bigger one.â€™ TheGuardian 'This witty, disturbing book deals with sexism, mental health issues and the hypocrisy of a country where young women are â€œpopping caffeine pills and turning jaundicedâ€ as they slave away in factories helping to fund higher education for male siblings.' The Independent 'Enthralling and enraging.' Sunday Express â€˜Choâ€™s moving, witty and powerful novel forces us to face our reality, in which one woman is seen, pretty much, as interchangeable with any other. Thereâ€™s a logic to Kim Jiyoungâ€™s shape-shifting: she could be anybody.â€™ Daily Telegraph
