Pandora Sykes In South Korea, where impossible beauty standards and
ruthless social hierarchies dictate your every move, four women are
balancing on a razor's edge: Kyuri, a beautiful 'room salon' girl
paid to entertain wealthy businessmen after hours. Miho, an artist
whose life becomes enmeshed with the offspring of the super-wealthy
elite. Ara, a hairstylist whose obsession with a K-pop star leads
her to violent extremes. Wonna, their neighbour, pregnant with a
child that she can't afford. Set in the drinking dens and beauty
salons of Seoul, If I Had Your Face is an electrifying debut novel
about female strength, resilience and the solace that friendship
can provide. 'Cha's writing always crackles . . . Touching,
compelling and icily cool' Observer 'Fascinating, eye-opening,
compelling - like the film Parasite, If I Had Your Face is also an
expose of the class system in South Korea' Independent 'Absolutely
stunning. . . Assured, bold, and electrifying' Taylor Jenkins Reid,
