3 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
Celebrated bestselling author Sun-mi Hwang is back with a heartwarming new novel about renewal and friendship. This is the story of a man named Kang Dae-su. His whole life is a miracle, rising from poverty to running a successful construction company. In his twilight years, Kang is diagnosed with a brain tumour. He returns to his childhood home of Cherry Hill. He acquires a crumbling old house in which to retreat from the world, yet the residents of the town have other plans. They seem hell-bent on intruding on Kang's private property. But who does the house, and Cherry Hill, really belong to? Is it owned by the construction company who is trying to rejuvenate the neighbourhood? Or does it belong to the residents who have used the land to play, think, walk, love and explore for generations? And how is the bitter and despondent Kang's childhood tied to this magical place? Miracle on Cherry Hill is a redemptive story of a damaged man regaining his trust in humanity. It explores the fragility of nature and human lives and is much-loved classic in South Korea. Includes beautiful illustrations inside. Praise for The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly: 'I was completely sucked into this story . . . bursting with originality . . . an instant classic' Guardian 'Bewitching . . . will make grown men and women cry' Independent

The first book is a deceptively simple barn yard #fable that explores some heavy themes. The second book, also a animal-focused narrative, is about the relationship between a dog and man. I‘ve enjoyed both. The tagged book on my tbr.

I'm totally shocked to see this has quite a few negative reviews. I thought it was beautifully written, well paced and a wonderful short fable. Heartwarming in places, and heartbreaking in others. Loved it.

I saw this in Waterstones last week and it went straight on to my TBR pile, it looks like the sort of thing I will really like.
