Here are fifteen pitch-perfect stories about women trying to make their own way: featuring daughters, divorcees, fox demons, a praying mantis, and . . . green frogs.

A young girl reconnects with her Korean grandmother; an artist considers her connection to the Korean folktale of the green frog; a praying mantis living in a beautiful home overlooking the park finds the New York dating scene leaves her hungering for more; a fox demon seeks revenge for her murdered sister, only for her loyalties to be torn; AI brings a grieving mother’s daughter back to life; at a spa in the mountains, a recently divorced woman has a ghostly encounter; and a recipe book instructs the reader on ‘how to eat your own heart’.

From Gina Chung, the author of Sea Change, this collection of fifteen offbeat, scintillating stories influenced by Korean fairy tales and contemporary ennui, shines a light on womanhood in all of its human (and other) forms.

 

Review

Chung’s talents are on full display in these contemplative tales. - Publsihers Weekly

Green Frog glitters and haunts, remaining with you until, slowly, you start to see yourself and your surroundings differently. - Los Angeles Review of Books

Though the women in these stories are not always human, they have very human problems; as it turns out, being a mantis comes with its own relationship issues. - Mslexia
