Two Women Living Together

Two Women Living Together is an enchanting, soothing read that celebrates stepping outside societal norms. I always appreciate tales about women who bravely defy cultural expectations, and this book may have just become my new favorite! Emma Gannon, a Sunday Times bestselling author in both fiction and non-fiction and a former judge for the 2025 Women's Prize, shares this sentiment. Clover Stroud, author of My Wild & Sleepless Nights, The Red of my Blood, and The Giant on the Skyline, describes it as a delightful tale that vividly portrays the journey of two women moving in together midlife. The story follows Hwang Sunwoo and Kim Hana, who, after finding each other between periods of living alone and being single, decide to share an apartment where their four cats can roam freely. Through this, they create a new definition of family. In an era where housing costs surge and birth rates drop, these independent Korean women in their late forties express their perspectives on societal pressures and expectations. Choosing neither marriage nor solitude, they find solace in their friendship, which blossoms into a rich, fulfilling journey. Quietly revolutionary and brimming with warmth and humor, Two Women Living Together glorifies charting your own course, the value of female friendship, the significance of cats, and a novel type of family.
