Juhea Kim recommends
Oxford Soju Club (2025)
Jinwoo Park
"Oxford Soju Club is an intelligent, riveting, and poignant exploration, asking 'what makes you who you are?' and 'do you determine your own identity?' It's a novel full of yearning, like the eponymous drink - but also, ultimately, of hope."
When Sleeping Women Wake (2025)
Emma Pei Yin
"With vivid historicity and deeply relatable characters, When Sleeping Women Wake is a lushly romantic and impassioned story of women's agency and resilience."
Luminous (2025)
Silvia Park
"Inventive, rollicking, and poetic, Luminous is a future classic novel about robots that reveals itself to be profoundly, beautifully human."
