'A mesmerising debut. Dark, twisted and bracingly empathetic' Diana Reid, author of Love and Virtue

Winner of the 2017 Hankyoreh Literary Award

----------------

Who is Jina?

The stupid woman who ruined a young man's promising career?

The weird loner whose university boyfriend thinks she has a victim complex?

The naïve country girl who ignored a friend's cry for help?

The survivor?

To answer these questions, Jina will have to return to Anjin University and the toxic culture that destroyed the lives of many female students - including one, Ha Yuri, who died tragically and mysteriously not long before she left.
