In *Two Women Living Together* by Hwang Sunwoo and Kim Hana, two independent Korean women in their late forties choose cohabitation, companionship and four cats over the life script handed to them—and it’s quietly life-affirming. This warm, witty Korean bestseller invites you into an apartment where friendship becomes a home, and “family” expands in unexpected, deeply comforting ways.
As housing costs climb and social expectations tighten, Sunwoo and Hana reflect on work, ageing, independence and the pressure to marry, all while building a shared daily life that feels practical, tender and surprisingly radical. There’s no grand drama here—just the steady intimacy of choosing what works, and making it meaningful.
Perfect for readers who love contemporary Korean literature, slice-of-life fiction, female friendship, and stories about alternative families (especially with cats underfoot).
Add it to your basket for a thoughtful, cosy read that lingers.
