    "description": "A bestselling and award-winning debut collection from one of South Korea's most prominent young writers.\n\nIn crisp, unembellished prose, Eun-young Choi paints intimate portraits of the lives of young women in South Korea, balancing the personal with the political. In the title story, a fraught friendship between an exchange student and her host sister follows them from adolescence to adulthood. In \"A Song from Afar,\" a young woman grapples with the death of her lover, traveling to Russia to search for information about the deceased. In \"Secret,\" the parents of a teacher killed in the Sewol ferry sinking hide the news of her death from her grandmother. \nIn the tradition of Sally Rooney, Banana Yoshimoto, and Marilynne Robinson--writers from different cultures who all take an unvarnished look at human relationships and the female experience--Choi Eunyoung is a writer to watch.",
