So please excuse my excitement for this book! As a long time fans of sageuk (historical k-drama) and readers of historical fiction, this book feels like a dream come true! I know not all korean-related stories are comparable with korean drama, but this book set in one of my all time favorite, yet severely underrated historical era, the Joseon era. When I first heard about The Silence of Bones, I knew I had to read it. Trigger warning (by June Hur): violence | murder | gore | character death | misogyny | mention and description of animal abuse | mention and description of suicide I received an eARC through Edelweiss Plus in exchange for an honest review. June Hur’s elegant and haunting debut The Silence of Bones is a bloody tale perfect for fans of Kerri Maniscalco and Renée Ahdieh. But her loyalty is tested when he becomes the prime suspect, and Seol may be the only one capable of discovering what truly happened on the night of the murder.īut in a land where silence and obedience are valued above all else, curiosity can be deadly.
Homesick and orphaned sixteen-year-old Seol is living out the ancient curse: “May you live in interesting times.” Indentured to the police bureau, she’s been tasked with assisting a well-respected young inspector with the investigation into the politically charged murder of a noblewoman.Īs they delve deeper into the dead woman’s secrets, Seol forms an unlikely bond of friendship with the inspector. Expected publication: April 21st 2020 by Feiwel & Friendsġ800, Joseon (Korea).
