From bestselling author R. O. Kwon, a powerful, blazing-hot novel about a
woman caught between her desires and her life.
'Haunting and powerful' Madeline Miller
'Brisk, jolting, brilliant, beautiful, true' Andrew Sean Greer
'I tore through this' Raven Leilani, author of Luster
At a lavish party in the hills outside of San Francisco, Jin Han meets Lidija
Jung and nothing will ever be the same for either woman. A brilliant young
photographer, Jin is at a crossroads in her work, in her marriage to her
college love Phillip, and in who she is and who she wants to be. Lidija is an
alluring, injured world-class ballerina on hiatus from her ballet company
under mysterious circumstances. Drawn to each other by their intense artistic
drives, the two women talk all night.
Cracked open, Jin finds herself telling Lidija about an old familial curse,
breaking a lifelong promise. She's been told that if she doesn't keep the
curse a secret, she risks losing everything; death and ruin could lie ahead.
As Jin and Lidija become more entangled, they realize they share more than the
ferocity of their ambition, and begin to explore hidden desires. Something is
ignited in Jin: her art, her body, and her sense of self irrevocably changed.
But can she avoid the specter of the curse? Urgent, bold, and deeply moving,
this novel asks: how brightly can you burn before you light your life on fire?
