2020 is testament to the publishing world’s ongoing commitment to diversify their titles 💥
follows Emira, a black babysitter wrongly accused of kidnapping Briar, a white child, and the fraught relationship she navigates with Alix, her well-intentioned employer. Touching on race, class, privilege, power dynamics and the emotional toll of domestic workers, Reid’s critically acclaimed debut makes for urgent, timely reading.
Released in hardback and translated into English, this collection from the award-winning South Korean novelist has unsurprisingly won rave reviews. Split into four tales, ‘Missing Child’ charts the emotional toll of a couple losing their child only to be reunited a decade later while, the titular ‘Diary of a Murder’, charting a relapsed serial killer, is as chilling as it is captivating.
