Translated fiction

literature that transcends borders and often breaks my heart

A selection of Korean novels that explore the quiet strength of human resilience, the complexity of pain, and the transformative power of connection.

Dive deep into themes of trauma, isolation, forgiveness, and second chances.

They're cute, they're smart, they're surviving this sh!t

A collection of books for every version of me—the hopeless romantic, the overthinker, the dreamer, the girl learning to heal, and the woman still figuring it all out.

Inside you’ll find swoon-worthy romances that make your heart ache in the best way, memoirs that feel like late-night conversations with a friend, stories of self-discovery and personal growth, comforting fiction that wraps around you like a warm blanket, and thought-provoking reads for the intellectual baddies.
