One of my 2026 goals is to read more translated works. Excited for SIMPLE HEART by Cho Haejin and translated by Jamie Chang. A huge thanks to Janie Yoon at @doubledayca for the chance to read and blurb the novel. From the publisher: Before she was named Nana by the French couple who adopted her as a child, she was Esther Pak, a girl growing up in a Korean orphanage. And before she was Esther Pak, she was Munju, a small child abandoned on the railway tracks in Seoul. SIMPLE HEART will be available in paperback, ebook, and audio on January 27, 2026. @doubledayca #korea #translation #koreanliterature #koreannovel #translatedfiction #translatedliterature #preorder #2026books
