The narrative intricately weaves themes of autonomy, mental health, and the oppressive nature of societal expectations. As Yeong-hye embraces her vegetarianism, her family reacts with confusion and hostility, reflecting the patriarchal values entrenched in Korean culture. Her husband, Mr. Cheong, perceives her choice as a personal affront, while her sister In-hye struggles with feelings of responsibility for Yeong-hye’s decline into madness.

“The Vegetarian stands as a significant work in contemporary literature, highlighting the profound implications of choices and rebellion against cultural norms.”

The Book Guide® Editor

Through vivid imagery and poignant language, Kang captures the visceral impact of Yeong-hye’s rebellion against a world that demands conformity, making her journey not just about dietary choices but a profound commentary on the human condition and the quest for self-identity

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (2017)

This book is also fiercely and unapologetically socio-political and we love that. Evelyn’s story is one of being a woman in a man’s world. It is one of being a Cuban woman in a white woman’s world. It is one of being a bisexual woman in an era where attraction to women was demonized by the whole culture. It is one of hiding yourself for ambition, one of trying to decide which one takes precedent, one of aging, and one of never knowing whether your choices were right.
