Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The unforgettable novel from Booker International Prize winner Han Kang, author of The Vegetarian.

In this compelling and beautifully-patterned novel, Han Kang tells the interwoven stories of a Greek instructor who is losing his sight and a woman who refuses to speak. Uniquely involving, and thoughtful, it explores the depths and limits of human connection.

A remarkable and timeless writer, Han Kang's words and stories go to the heart of what it means to be human - to be a species capable of both utmost violence and utmost love. With enormous tact, clarity and tenderness she examines the lives of the overlooked and the little seen, affording them a grace and dignity which makes them unforgettable.

'Han Kang is what most writers spend their lives trying to be: a fearless, unsentimental teller of human truths' Lisa McInerney

'Han Kang's vivid and at times violent storytelling will wake up even the most jaded of literary palates' Independent

Pleasant enough but I have no real idea what it’s about

Poetical to the point of obscurity. Maybe it’s the translation but there’s much potentious talk that doesn’t really resolve anything.

I enjoyed to vegetarian though it was obscure in places and very bleak. But this one defeated me.

I read a couple of books a day but this one left me feeling stupid and confused.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
