WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2024
SHORTLISTED FOR FOYLES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025
AN OBSERVER BEST BOOK OF THE CENTURY SO FAR
Like a long winter's dream, this haunting and visionary new novel from 2024 Nobel Prize winner Han Kang takes us on a journey from contemporary South Korea into its painful history
'One of the most profound and skilled writers working on the contemporary world stage' Deborah Levy
Beginning one morning in December, We Do Not Part traces the path of Kyungha as she travels from the city of Seoul into the forests of Jeju Island, to the home of her old friend Inseon. Hospitalized following an accident, Inseon has begged Kyungha to hasten there to feed her beloved pet bird, who will otherwise die.
Kyungha takes the first plane to Jeju, but a snowstorm hits the island the moment she arrives, plunging her into a world of white. Beset by icy wind and snow squalls, she wonders if she will arrive in time to save the bird - or even survive the terrible cold which envelops her with every step. As night falls, she struggles her way to Inseon's house, unaware as yet of the descent into darkness which awaits her.
There, the long-buried story of Inseon's family surges into light, in dreams and memories passed from mother to daughter, and in a painstakingly assembled archive documenting a terrible massacre on the island seventy years before.
We Do Not Part is a hymn to friendship, a eulogy to the imagination and above all an indictment against forgetting.

Resolution in a Snowdrift
I'm going to start this review by saying you should read Human Acts first. Not just because it's arguably Han Kang's best work, but because it is essential to understand this novel. After the completion of Human Acts, Han Kang finds herself afflicted with the same traumatic inability of expression as her characters frequently do (Human Acts, Greek Lessons, The Vegetarian all feature.this theme). Plagued by insomnia and eating disorder, she is ripped out of her depression when a friend asks for her help. The artist turned woodworker living in near complete isolation has severed her fingers in a table saw accident. She asks the writer to visit her home in Jeju (an island in the South of Korea) and check on her budgie. So our narrator finds herself on a trek through endless snow trying to reconstruct her friendship, the history of the island, and her own crisis. Nobody ever accused Han Kang of lightheartedness, but once you can swallow the existential crisis this novel will evoke, you will find that Han Kang has landed her coup de grace. We Do not Part manages to pick up loose threads from each work of Han Kang that I have read and for the first time since Greek Lessons actually offers a glimmer of hope and resolution.
