Snowglobe (The Snowglobe Duology, Book 1) By Soyoung Park

Step into the chilling dystopia of "Snowglobe," a groundbreaking Korean novel by Soyoung Park, now translated into English. In this frozen world, Snowglobe stands as a climate-controlled haven, shielding its citizens from the relentless winter. Yet, beneath the facade of a perfect society lies a web of dark secrets waiting to unravel.

Described as "The Hunger Games meets Squid Game" by Entertainment Weekly, Snowglobe explores a society enclosed by a vast dome. Its inhabitants face the daily challenge of navigating the icy wasteland outside to sustain the power plant, providing the city's essential energy. In return, their lives are broadcast to those less fortunate, longing for a chance to escape the frozen desolation.

Chobahm, an avid viewer of Snowglobe's television programs, finds solace in her favorite show, "Goh Around," starring the late Goh Haeri, the city's biggest star. When Chobahm discovers she's chosen to replace Haeri, her dream life takes a sinister turn. The reality inside Snowglobe diverges sharply from the televised glamour, unveiling a world where truth is elusive, and life is a distorted reflection of the facade.

"Snowglobe" delves into themes of personal identity and the precarious future of our known world. Winner of the Changbi X Kakaopage Young Adult Novel Award, this translated novel promises a gripping exploration of a society built on deception and the consequences of seeking an elusive truth. 📚❤️
