Two suspects quickly emerge: rich kid Shin Jeongjun, whose car Hae-on was last seen in, and delivery boy Han Manu, who witnessed her there just a few hours before her death. But when Jeongjun's alibi checks out, and no evidence can be pinned on Manu, the case goes cold. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Seventeen years pass without any resolution for those close to Hae-on, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Shifting between the perspectives of Da-on and two of Hae-on's classmates struck in different ways by her otherworldly beauty, \u003ci\u003eLemon\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kwon Yeo-Sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Other Press (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\/16\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.1\" H x 4.8\" L x 0.7\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781635423310\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Kotton Kandy Skies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51802730135851,"sku":"9781635423310","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/2978\/5899\/files\/9781635423310.jpg?v=1769688443","url":"https:\/\/2trc11-eq.myshopify.com\/products\/lemon-kwon-yeo-sun-paperback","provider":"Kotton Kandy Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
