Thanks - I don't think "We Do Not Part" is going to come out in April, or indeed under that title - 2025 I think now and as Impossible Goodbyes: A Novel, although that could also change.Table for One has been delayed for ages but hopefully will appear now - I have read an ARC of that.
Other ones - but publication dates not always clear (and mostly US) - first one I've read an ARC.April 9th
Patterns of the Heart and Other Stories by Ch’oe Myŏngik translated by Janet Poole (translation of stories from 1936-1951)
August 20th
Romancing on Jeju by Hyun-Joo Park translated Paige Morris
December 3rd
Apartment Women: A Novel by Gu Byeong-mo (no detail on translator)
Sorry I know this is the 2024 release forum but I thought I'd just mention that I came across a book releasing in 2025:The Second Chance Convenience Store - Kim Ho-Yeon - 1st May 2025

Apparently this book was very popular both in and outside of Korea. I'm very much looking forward to its English release.
This edition of Under the Oak tree released recently:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
It's a limited edition with sprayed edges and I'm wondering if anyone has read the manga and recommends it.
The summary sounds great. There is a giveaway for the book now (Nov 11 2024) for about two days more…
