{"product_id":"lemon","title":"Lemon","description":"This is not a murder story. It is the story of those left behind. Parasite meets The Good Son in this piercing psychological portrait of three women haunted by a brutal, unsolved crime. \u003cbr\u003eIn the summer of 2002, Kim Hae-on was killed in what became known as the High School Beauty Murder. There were two suspects: Shin Jeongjun, who had a rock-solid alibi, and Han Manu, to whom no evidence could be pinned. The case went cold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeventeen years pass without justice, and the grief and uncertainty take a cruel toll on her younger sister, Da-on, in particular. Unable to move on with her life, Da-on tries in her own twisted way to recover some of what she''s lost, ultimately setting out to find the truth of what happened.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShifting between the perspectives of Da-on and two of Hae-on''s classmates, Lemon ostensibly takes the shape of a crime novel. But identifying the perpetrator is not the main objective here: Kwon Yeo-sun uses this well-worn form to craft a searing, timely exploration of privilege, jealousy, trauma, and how we live with the wrongs we have endured and inflicted in turn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for Lemon: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''Discovering whodunnit isn''t really the point here; Lemon is a subtle, often intense meditation on the after-effects of violence'' Guardian \u003cbr\u003e''Chilling, suspenseful and disconcerting... I couldn''t put it down and read deep into the night until I finished it, with my heart hammering'' Frances Cha, author of If I Had Your Face","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57264606970191,"sku":"9781800241497","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/lemon","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
