{"product_id":"9781529376043-retail-shokos-smile","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.  In 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":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48172858802395,"sku":"9781529376043-RETAIL","price":19.54,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/707fc731-c42a-477b-b0a3-e954c33a7592.jpg?v=1769005564","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781529376043-retail-shokos-smile","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
