From a prize-winning new voice in Korean fiction with roots in feminist SFF these
exhilarating stories will transport you to strange new worlds celebrating young women striving
for their independence and self-expression 'Radically brilliant... made me want to spark
trouble and overthrow the system' JANE FLETT 'Plenty to keep you up at night I loved the
eerie beauty of the worlds Amil creates' NAOMI ISHIGURO 'Thrilling and unsettling... I loved
this' MEGAN BRADBURY In a near future where women are an endangered minority two young
friends try to break free from a facility designed for those few who can still give birth.
Every year in a secluded seaside village a maiden is sacrificed to a divine sea serpent.
Elsewhere the last female shaman of an indigenous tribe tells her stories to a visiting
research team. And in South Korea's Alps Grand Park the residents exist in an exclusive world
dominated by giant air purifier towers as others are left to live in the shade. The women in
these stories find themselves trapped - by circumstance society or tradition - as they fight
for a means of escape. This sweeping and subversive collection celebrates their strength and
their courage their desire for independence and self-expression. Translated by Archana
