If I Had Your Face: 'Assured, bold, and electrifying' by Bestselling Author Taylor Jenkins Reid

In the captivating world of South Korea, where immaculate beauty standards and ruthless social hierarchies dictate every move, four remarkable women navigate a razor's edge.

'Gripping,' as acclaimed by Curtis Sittenfeld, the story follows the intertwined lives of Kyuri, Miho, Ara, and Wonna. Kyuri is a beautiful "room salon" girl, paid to entertain wealthy businessmen after hours. Miho, an artist, becomes entangled with the offspring of the super-wealthy elite. Ara, a hairstylist, is consumed by an obsession with a K-pop star, leading her to violent extremes. Their neighbor, Wonna, is pregnant with a child she can't afford.

Set in the drinking dens and beauty salons of Seoul, 'Remarkable,' as described by Kevin Kwan, "If I Had Your Face" is a culturally fascinating, emotionally layered, and 'brilliant,' as praised by Pandora Sykes, exploration of the class system in South Korea. "Fascinating, eye-opening, compelling - like the film Parasite," says the Independent, this debut novel by Frances Cha is "absolutely stunning," according to 'Electrifying' Taylor Jenkins Reid, "assured, bold, and electrifying."
