Somewhere between the crossroads of obsession, mental illness, lust, and betrayal, The Vegetarian exists.
When Yeong-hye has a vivid dream that leads her to give up eating meat, she attracts the unwelcome attention of not only her husband but others as well. Her life begins to come undone, and that unraveling leaves much destruction in its wake.
Told in alternating points of view, while trying to account for human nature gone sideways, The Vegetarian is a stunning read. Recommended By Dianah H., Powells.com
