Book: Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo (translated by Jamie Chang).
This quietly powerful novel follows an ordinary Korean woman through the everyday moments of her life, tracing the small, cumulative ways gender expectations shape her choices, relationships, and sense of self. It's a great fit for this group: the narrative voice is clear and grounded, the themes spark rich discussion around family, work, and identity, and it offers insight into contemporary Korean society and a distinct literary voice in translation.
