About this listen
An expansive epic spanning the turbulent decades of Korea's fight for independence. Perfect for fans of Min Jin Lee's Pachinko.
Beasts take many shapes....
It is 1917, and Korea has yet to be divided into North and South. With the threat of famine looming, a young girl named Jade is sold by her family to Miss Silver's courtesan school in cosmopolitan Pyongyang, an act of desperation that will cement her place in the lowest social status. But the city's days as a haven are numbered.
Jade flees to Seoul, where she forms a deep friendship with an orphan boy called Jung Ho, who scrapes together a living begging on the streets. As Jade becomes a sought-after performer with unexpected romantic prospects, Jung Ho is swept up in the revolutionary fight for independence. Soon Jade must decide between following her own ambitions or risking everything for the one she loves.
From the perfumed chambers of the courtesan school to the glamorous cafes of a modernizing Seoul, the unforgettable characters of Beasts of a Little Land unveil a world where friends become enemies and enemies become saviors, where heroes are persecuted and beasts take many shapes.
