Beschreibung

This is not a murder story. It is the story of those left behind. <i>Parasite</i> meets <i>The Good Son</i> in this piercing psychological portrait of three women haunted by a brutal, unsolved crime. In the summer of 2002, Kim Hae-on was killed in what became known as the High School Beauty Murder. There were two suspects: Shin Jeongjun, who had a rock-solid alibi, and Han Manu, to whom no evidence could be pinned. The case went cold. Seventeen years pass without justice, and the grief and uncertainty take a cruel toll on her younger sister, Da-on, in particular. Unable to move on with her life, Da-on tries in her own twisted way to recover some of what she's lost, ultimately setting out to find the truth of what happened. Shifting between the perspectives of Da-on and two of Hae-on's classmates, <i>Lemon</i> ostensibly takes the shape of a crime novel. But identifying the perpetrator is not the main objective here: Kwon Yeo-sun uses this well-worn form to craft a searing, timely exploration of privilege, jealousy, trauma, and how we live with the wrongs we have endured and inflicted in turn. <b>Praise for <i>Lemon</i>: </b> 'Discovering whodunnit isn't really the point here; <i>Lemon</i> is a subtle, often intense meditation on the after-effects of violence' <b><i>Guardian</i></b> 'Chilling, suspenseful and disconcerting... I couldn't put it down and read deep into the night until I finished it, with my heart hammering' <b>Frances Cha, author of <i>If I Had Your Face</i></b>
