The Books Oracle
by Cho Nam-Joo
In a tidy Seoul apartment lives Kim Jiyoung, a thirtysomething millennial everywoman who has recently left her desk job to care for her newborn daughter full-time. But something is wrong—she begins speaking in the voices of other women from her life. Cho's slim, devastating novel chronicles the cumulative weight of gendered expectations and the quiet erasure of women's identities in contemporary South Korea.
