{"product_id":"shokos-smile-choi-eunyoung-9781529376043","title":"Shoko's Smile","description":"In crisp, unembellished prose, Choi Eunyoung 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, travelling 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.","brand":"John Murray Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50354400133408,"sku":"9781529376043","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781529376043.jpg?v=1781040651","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/shokos-smile-choi-eunyoung-9781529376043","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
