The Book Club book
Yeong-hye and her husband are normal everyday people - she is a faithful wife and he is an office worker with limited ambition. However, after a vivid dream Yeong-hye becomes a vegetarian, which we realise is a highly subversive act in a society where vegetarianism is uncommon.
Yeong-hye continues to rebel in challenging and uncomfortable ways. This is an ingenious, upsetting, and unforgettable novel as Yeong-hye finds new ways of asserting her identity. It's a story of shame, desire and failing attempts to understand others.
Geoff says:
"Winner of the International Booker Prize, The Vegetarian is both beautiful and disturbing, unsettling and unforgettable."
