Description
This much-lauded novel set in Korea tells the tales of four women struggling with feminine beauty standards. Kyuri is a gorgeous woman entertaining men at an exclusive bar, while her roommate Miho is an artist dating a billionaire heir to one of the “chaebols,” or large Korean conglomerate companies. Their neighbor Ara is a hairstylist obsessed with K-pop and plastic surgery, and downstairs lives Wonna, who struggles to conceive a child she isn’t sure she’ll be able to educate in the “Hell Joseon,” or competitive capitalist economy, that Korea has become. Each woman balances on the brink of a precipice, hoping against hope that friendship will help them see the way through.
