If I Had Your Face
“Absolutely stunning… Assured, bold, and electrifying” Taylor Jenkins Reid, `Daisy and The Six`”One of the buzziest debuts of the year, `If I Had Your Face` transports readers to glittering, futuristic Seoul… Essential reading” VogueA glitteringly dark and unsettling debut novel about four young women struggling to survive in South Korea `If I Had Your Face` plunges us into the mesmerizing world of contemporary Seoul – a place where extreme plastic surgery is as routine as getting a haircut, where women compete for spots in secret `room salons` to entertain wealthy businessmen after hours, where K-Pop stars are the object of all-consuming obsession, and ruthless social hierarchies dictate your every move. Navigating this hyper-competitive city are four young women balancing on the razor-edge of survival: Kyuri, an exquisitely beautiful woman whose hard-won status at an exclusive `room salon` is threatened by an impulsive mistake with a client; her flatmate Miho, an orphan who wins a scholarship to a prestigious art school in New York, where her life becomes tragically enmeshed with the super-wealthy offspring of the Korean elite; Wonna, their neighbour, pregnant with a child that she and her husband have no idea how they will afford to raise in a fiercely competitive economy; and Ara, a hair stylist living down the hall, whose infatuation with a fresh-faced K-Pop star drives her to violent extremes.
