To celebrate cultural diversity, HWLC Popular Library will discuss The Forest of Stolen Girls by June Hug.
In 1426 in Joseon, a year after her father vanishes while investigating the disappearance of thirteen girls, eighteen-year-old Min Hwani returns to the island of Jeju to pick up his trail with the help of her estranged sister.June Hur was born in South Korea and raised in Canada. She studied History and Literature at the University of Toronto. She began writing her debut novel after obsessing over books about Joseon Korea. When she's not writing, she can be found wandering through nature or journaling at a coffee shop. June is the author of The Silence of Bones and The Forest of Stolen Girls , and currently lives in Toronto with her husband and daughter.
You can read this book either in English or in Korean to attend the bilingual book discussion.
