The entwined fortunes of a young girl sold to a courtesan school and the destitute son of a hunter are explored in this epic saga of love, war, and redemption set against the backdrop of the Korean independence movement.

In 1917, a poor local hunter on the verge of hunger saves a young Japanese officer from an attacking tiger deep in the cold mountains of occupied Korea. Their fates are linked in an instant, and a narrative that spans half a century begins with this encounter.

In the aftermath, a little girl named Jade is sold to Miss Silver's courtesan school by her family, an act of desperation that will cement her place at the bottom of society. They build a great bond when she befriends an orphan child named JungHo, who scrapes by begging on the streets of Seoul. JungHo gets swept up in the revolutionary war for freedom as they grow older, while Jade blossoms into a sought-after performer with the new romantic prospect of noble birth. Jade will soon have to decide whether she is willing to risk everything for the one who would do the same for her.

Juhea Kim's unique characters construct their destinies as they wager their nation's, from the perfumed chambers of a courtesan school in Pyongyang to the glossy cafes of a modernizing Seoul and the frigid forests of Manchuria, where wars rage. Animals of a Little Land is an immersive and elegant story about a world where friends become enemies, adversaries become saviors, heroes are persecuted, and beasts take many forms.

Reviews: Beasts of a Little Land

In Kim's debut novel, unpredictable circumstances create torn families and unexpected partnerships. " [A] richly enticing and important debut novel. " -- Booklist (starred review)

"A complex twentieth-century Korean history is brought to life in an epic novel... extraordinary... The combination of beautiful words and compelling characters creates a literary masterpiece. " -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

stunning writing has a dreamy feel to it, transporting the reader to a fascinating realm. Not only is this a beautifully written story, but Kim also provides insight into an era of history that many Westerners would be unfamiliar with. " -- Historical Novels Review, Editor's Choice

"A powerful and immersive reading experience that is fully aware of its setting and period." It's great for followers of Min Jin Lee and Isabelle Allende since it's intimate but political. " -- Chicago Review of Books

Some argue that all stories revolve around love or war. Kim's epic debut novel is set in early twentieth-century Korea and is about both. -- Harper’s Bazaar, a Best Book of 2021

You'd never guess that "Beasts of a Little Land" is Kim's debut novel from reading it. There's no shortage of ambition here, and it's matched by brisk narrative pacing... "A book that is both warm and wise." -- USA Today

Would you believe I read this 400-page epic narrative about love and conflict that spans decades of South Korean history in one sitting? It's a spin on historical fiction that roars with energy, and it starts with a tiger encounter in the frigid mountains. " -- Entertainment Weekly, “Must List”
