Winter in Sokcho

-BUILDING ON SUCCESS: Amazing review coverage for the UK edition of the book, despite coming out in the middle of COVID-19

-FOR FANS OF: Sayaka Murata, Marguerite Duras, and Han Kang. The novel is understated, lyric, emotional, and haunting, and establishes Dusapin as one of the preeminent up-and-coming young female writers of our time.

-AUTHOR BACKSTORY: Born in France to a French father and Korean mother, Dusapin currently lives in Switzerland, writing in French about South Korea. This multi-nationalism will appeal to a lot of readers, and adds a depth to her depiction of Korean life.

-A PUNCHY, QUICK READ: This book can-and frequently will-be read in a single sitting, given how compelling and fast-paced it is.

The strength of this book is how atmospheric it is. The descriptions of food and cooking are very three-dimensional. I really feel like I experienced some of winter on the border of North and South Korea. There's a Checkovs gun in this book which made it less, rather than more, interesting.
