'Absolutely stunning. . .Assured, bold, and electrifying' Taylor
Jenkins Reid, Sunday Times bestselling author of DAISY JONES
&,amp, THE SIX 'One of the buzziest debuts of the year, If I
Had Your Face transports readers to glittering, futuristic Seoul...
Essential reading' VogueIf 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.'A brilliant debut' Pandora Sykes, The High
Low Podcast'Culturally fascinating, emotionally layered, gripping
and smart' Curtis Sittenfeld, bestselling author of
RODHAM'Remarkable, brilliantly crafted and devastatingly exquisite'
Kevin Kwan, bestselling author of CRAZY RICH ASIANS'A stunning
debut' Sunday Times 'Fascinating, eye-opening, compelling - like
the film Parasite, If I Had Your Face is also an expose of the
class system in South Korea' Independent
