Orange and the Bread Knife: The Chilling Korean Bestseller - where one woman decides she has had ENOUGH

The thrilling high-concept Korean bestseller about conforming to society's standards.

Youngah is a warm-hearted schoolteacher - always smiling, always yielding. She bends her life to everyone else's rules. But deep inside, this endless restraint is killing her. An unending sense of despair festers.

Desperate for relief, she turns to a cutting-edge, four-week emotion regulation programme, which promises to sculpt her into a better version of herself.

The procedure works a little too well.

Unburdened at last, Youngah embraces her raw, unfiltered self, dismantling the weight of the exhausting expectations and ideals imposed upon her.
