Translated by Anton Hur 'Violets lavishes attention on the kind of
person who often slips through the cracks, unseen or ignored. There
is a beauty and a bravery in speaking for small lives' Rowan Hisayo
Buchanan, author of Harmless Like You South Korea, 1970. San is a
lonely child, ostracised from her community. She soon finds a
friend in a girl called Namae, until one afternoon changes
everything. Following a moment of intimacy in a minari field, Namae
violently rejects San, setting her on a troubling path. We next
meet San, aged twenty-two, when she happens upon a job at a flower
shop in Seoul's bustling city centre. Over the course of one hazy,
volatile summer, San is introduced to a curious cast of characters
- the mute shop owner, a brash co-worker, kind farmers and
aggressive customers - and, fuelled by a quiet desperation to
jump-start her life, she plunges headfirst into obsession with a
passing magazine photographer. Throughout it all, San's moment with
Namae continues to linger in the back of her mind. A story of
thwarted desire, misogyny and erasure, Violets reveals the high
stakes involved in one woman's desperate search for both autonomy
and attachment in an unforgiving society.
