The Trunk

English

By (author): Kim Ryeo-ryeong

**Soon to be a major Netflix TV series, starring Gong Yu and Seo Hyun-jin**

Read the gripping international feminist satire for fans of KIM JIYOUNG BORN 1982, CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN and YELLOWFACE.


So this is the world we live in, where even spouses can be rented

Meet Noh Inji: thirty years old, five wedding rings so far, and shes never once been in love.

When Inji takes a job at Wedding & Life, the popular matchmaking service, she never imagines her role will be with NM, their secretive marriage division that rents out field spouses for a fixed period to their elite clientele. Just like a real marriage, Injis assignments involve a wedding, some sex and a spot of housework. Its all tailored exactly to the clients desires - no legal battles, no fights, no emotional baggage.

In no way is Inji interested in finding real love, because accidents happen when you mistakenly assume that you are somehow special.

When one of Injis old husbands, a mysterious high-profile music producer, requests her back for another year of marriage, Injis own dark past will begin to unravel as well as the sinister underbelly of the NM management, who will stop at nothing to preserve their reputation - and that of their wealthiest clients

Readers love THE TRUNK:

It enraged me, it made me laugh, it was everything
Intriguing and gripping
Unique and intriguing and perfect for fans of Kim Jiyoung, born 1982
Absorbing and consistently fascinating
Really interesting book full of social commentary, rich characters I had vibes of The Handmaid's Tale meets Convenience Store Woman
