‘Almond’ by Won-pyung Sohn is far more than a coming-of-age story. Through Yunjae, a boy who cannot feel emotions the way others do, the novel explores how we judge, misread, and distance ourselves from one another. Difficult, tender, and ultimately beautiful in its portrait of humanity. #booksky 📚💙
