A powerful novel of the saving grace of language and human
connection, from the celebrated author of The Vegetarian.
'Breathtaking . . . She is simply my favourite living writer to
read, and think with, and see the world with' Max Porter In a
classroom in Seoul, a young woman watches her Greek language
teacher at the blackboard. She tries to speak but has lost her
voice. Her teacher finds himself drawn to the silent woman, for day
by day he is losing his sight. Soon they discover a deeper pain
binds them. For her, in the space of just a few months, she has
lost both her mother and the custody battle for her nine-year-old
son. For him, it's the pain of growing up between Korea and
Germany, being torn between two cultures and languages. Greek
Lessons is a tender love letter to human connection, a novel to
awaken the senses, vividly conjuring the essence of what it means
to be alive. Translated by Deborah Smith and Emily Yae Won.
'Another stunning gem: quiet, sharply faceted, and devastating'
Kirkus 'Han Kang is a writer like no other. In a few lines, she
seems to traverse the entirety of human experience' Katie Kitamura
