Young Adult
by Shin Kyung-sook
In 1980s Seoul, a young woman named Yoon meets a charismatic literature professor and three fellow students who share a passion for European classics and poetry. Their friendships deepen against the backdrop of South Korea's political turmoil, and over decades of separation and reunion, they navigate love, loss, and the enduring power of literature to shape and sustain human connection.
