While I was at Gothenburg Book Fair in Sweden I managed to track down the inimitable Juhea KIm to have a backstage chat all about her rapturous and ravishing prose.
Straight out the gate, Juhea Kim’s debut novel Beasts of A Little Land became a prize-winning international bestseller. It’s a historical epic set in early 20th century Korea which was occupied by Japan. We follow Jade and JungHo, two orphaned children, as their lives intertwine over five decades of war, occupation, revolution, and Korean history. The two have a life-changing friendship which results in Jade having to make a decision between following her own ambitions and risking everything for the one she loves. The Times Literary Supplement weren’t kidding when they called it “a stunning achievement.”
Now, Juhea has written a short story collection, featuring ten ecological tales inspired by colours. It’s titled A Love Story From the End of the World, and tells tales of nature, animals, technology, and the climate crisis.
