An epic story of love, war, and redemption set against the backdrop
of the Korean independence movement, following the intertwined
fates of a young girl sold to a courtesan school and the penniless
son of a hunter In 1917, deep in the snowy mountains of occupied
Korea, an impoverished local hunter on the brink of starvation
saves a young Japanese officer from an attacking tiger. In an
instant, their fates are connected—and from this encounter
unfolds a saga that spans half a century. In the aftermath, a young
girl named Jade is sold by her family to Miss Silver’s courtesan
school, an act of desperation that will cement her place in the
lowest social status. When she befriends an orphan boy named
JungHo, who scrapes together a living begging on the streets of
Seoul, they form a deep friendship. As they come of age, JungHo is
swept up in the revolutionary fight for independence, and Jade
becomes a sought-after performer with a new romantic prospect of
noble birth. Soon Jade must decide whether she will risk everything
for the one who would do the same for her. From the perfumed
chambers of a courtesan school in Pyongyang to the glamorous cafes
of a modernizing Seoul and the boreal forests of Manchuria, where
battles rage, Juhea Kim’s unforgettable characters forge their
own destinies as they wager their nation’s. Immersive and
elegant, Beasts of a Little Land unveils a world where
friends become enemies, enemies become saviors, heroes are
persecuted, and beasts take many shapes.
