The bestselling debut novel for fans of PACHINKO and HOMEGOING 'A rich, sweeping novel' EMMA NANAMI STRENNER 'Spellbinding' KARISSA CHEN 'A fierce and mythic family saga' SILVIA PARK Honey in the Wound follows a mysteriously gifted lineage of Korean women as they are displaced across Asia by Japanese imperialism. At this novel's heart is Young-Ja, whose family is killed by Japanese soldiers. Her magical gift - the ability to infuse her cooking with her feelings: love, peace, delight - shifts into something far more powerful as her sorrow and anger seep into her confections. When her talent is noticed by a Korean resistance fighter, she is taken to Manchuria and becomes enmeshed in a network of spies at a teahouse favoured by Japanese officials. Haunted at every turn by the spectre of Japanese soldiers, Young-Ja must learn to persevere, even against the brutality of the Imperial Army. Spanning the 20th century, with spellbinding intergenerational sweep and atmospheric magical realism, Honey in the Wound explores the ways colonialism forces one family to transform and ultimately survive. *SHORTLISTED FOR THE WATERSTONES DEBUT FICTION PRIZE * WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: 'This novel swept me off my feet' 'I will NEVER forget it' 'One of the most powerful reads I've ever stumbled upon' 'It will bring out every emotion you have' 'A breathtaking debut, rich, emotional, and steeped in myth and history' 'What Jiyoung Han has done here is nothing short of a multi-generational feminist epic'
