'If I Had Your Face' by Frances Cha
'Had I Your Face' by Frances Cha is set in Seoul - in exclusive 'room salons' where young, attractive women entertain men, in plastic surgeons' offices where these young women try to become more beautiful through surgery after surgery, and in the spotlight of the glittering K-pop world whose stars everyone adores. At the center are four young women trying to assert themselves in Seoul society.
Frances Cha's debut novel offers insights into a world obsessed with beauty and youth, while at the same time unsentimentally showing the importance of values like friendship and solidarity.
'Kite Runner' by Khaled Hosseini
'Kite Runner' was published back in 2003, but is no less relevant today than it was then. In the novel, Afghan-born Khaled Hosseini tells the story of a friendship between two mismatched boys in his home country. Amir wants to win a kite-flying competition with Hassan's help. But after Amir cruelly betrays his friend, they part ways. While Amir flees the war in Afghanistan in the USA, he suffers from what he did to Hassan. When he returns to his homeland after many years, he wants to erase his guilt.
This epic work speaks of great themes of friendship, betrayal and hope against the backdrop of Afghanistan's dark recent history. A sad book that is hard to put down, despite the heavy themes.
