Die Vegetarierin by Han Kang
5.0
challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Horryfying, mysterious, sad, but sometimes also magical...
The story characters breaking social conventions, trying to break out of her confinement, finding a social niche or personal freedom, while getting psychologically shredded to pieces in the process. Deeply saddening and disturbing, but also very hard to put down.
