{"product_id":"shokos-smile-stories","title":"Shoko's Smile: Stories","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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0143135260\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0143135260.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Eunyoung, Choi\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
