Description:	Select Guide Rating A neglected young woman experiences the violence and isolation of contemporary Korean society, from the two million copy bestselling author of PLEASE LOOK AFTER MOTHER ''Dreamy, immersive and evocative'' TLS ''Darkly beautiful'' Frances Cha ''Strange and gripping'' Guardian San is twenty-two and alone when she happens upon a job at a flower shop in Seoul''s bustling city centre. Haunted by childhood rejection, she stumbles through life - painfully vulnerable, stifled, and unsure. She barely registers to others, especially by the ruthless standards of 1990s South Korea. But over the course of one summer, San meets a curious cast of characters: the nonspeaking shop owner, a brash co-worker, aggressive customers and an enigmatic magazine photographer. Fuelled by a quiet desperation to jump-start her life, she dares, briefly, to dream of connection in an unforgiving world. Translated by Anton Hur
