A powerful novel of the saving grace of language and human connection, from the celebrated author of The Vegetarian.
'Breathtaking . . . She is simply my favourite living writer to read, and think with, and see the world with' Max Porter
In a classroom in Seoul, a young woman watches her Greek language teacher at the blackboard. She tries to speak but has lost her voice. Her teacher finds himself drawn to the silent woman, for day by day he is losing his sight.
Soon they discover a deeper pain binds them. For her, in the space of just a few months, she has lost both her mother and the custody battle for her nine-year-old son. For him, it's the pain of growing up between Korea and Germany, being torn between two cultures and languages.
Greek Lessons is a tender love letter to human connection, a novel to awaken the senses, vividly conjuring the essence of what it means to be alive.
Translated by Deborah Smith and Emily Yae Won.
'Another stunning gem: quiet, sharply faceted, and devastating' Kirkus
