Before the nightmare, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary life. But when splintering, blood-soaked images start haunting her thoughts, Yeong-hye decides to purge her mind and renounce eating meat. In a country where societal mores are strictly obeyed, Yeong-hye's decision to embrace a more “plant-like” existence is a shocking act of subversion. And as her passive rebellion manifests in ever more extreme and frightening forms, scandal, abuse, and estrangement begin to send Yeong-hye spiraling deep into the spaces of her fantasy. In a complete metamorphosis of both mind and body, her now dangerous endeavor will take Yeong-hye—impossibly, ecstatically, tragically—far from her once-known self altogether.

Visited home today, haven't been there in a week or two. I was sooo pleased to find package waiting for me. You did it again, pippis, you totally surprised me. With such great things, too: a wishlist book that hasn't even been on my list for long, cool canvas tote bag with very important message printed on it, and a beautiful postcard which I loved even more after realizing that on the photo, there are Non-Fiction Department's spiral stairs at Turku Main Library. I just love photos like that.
And I love you. Thank you so very much! You're the greatest.
