A review by sarahboudereads
Hiver à Sokcho by Elisa Shua Dusapin
5.0
The question is:
How does one even review one of their new favourite books of all time?
In this masterpiece of a story, Elisa Shua Dusapin made me feel seen as an estranged woman of 25, with her depiction of a character living somewhere she doesn't belong but who still can't take root anywhere else. Someone deeply moved by her environnement and the lack of changes but who is also completely overwhelmed when something changes.
The writing is everything I love about when I read in French. The only downside to this book is the terrible French cover.
For lovers of Sally Rooney and cozy, sad, weirdly nostalgic stories.
