“A Small Revolution has all the makings of a riveting sensory
experience…Han’s careful unspooling of the narrative thread that
holds the three pieces together is a powerful tapestry in reverse.”
—Hyphen Magazine
“A Small Revolution is a novel of remarkably rendered extremes…It
is an ambitious and accomplished debut that pulls us out of our
comfortable window seats and places us in a room, in a young
woman’s heart, and in a nascent democracy’s earliest days.” —Los
Angeles Review of Books
“Swift, and timely…A worthy and cinematic debut.” —Electric
Literature
“In her novel A Small Revolution, Han handles serious topics—mental
illness, political activism, domestic violence—deftly.” —Los
Angeles Times
“It’s the courage of voices like Yoona, and Jimin Han, that force
change. I couldn’t stop reading A Small Revolution once I began. It
stirred a revolution inside of me and is one of those books that
I’ll be thinking about for a long time to come.” —Entropy
“Entwining personal and political histories on either side of the
globe…Han’s novel exudes a universal immediacy about what can
happen when safety, and sanity, are repeatedly threatened…A
resonating parable for today’s volatile, fearful times.” —Bloom
“We’ve all wondered what it’s like inside the rooms where the
horrors unfold. Jimin Han’s relentless, timely A Small Revolution
grabs you by the collar and pulls you inside, then back through her
sympathetic character’s history to answer that question: How does a
good girl end up inside a brutal disaster? How does young love
become a mirage of political activism—and accident become
hostage-taking and murder? Open the book; remember to breathe.”
—Gwendolen Gross, author of When She Was Gone and The Orphan
Sister
“On the heels of South Korea’s 1980s era pro-democracy uprisings,
Jimin Han’s gripping debut novel, A Small Revolution, explores the
volatile space between love and loss, desperation and deed.” —Julie
Iromuanya, author of Mr. and Mrs. Doctor, a finalist for 2016
PEN/Faulkner Award and 2016 PEN/Robert W. Bingham Debut Fiction
Award
“Jimin Han’s debut novel, A Small Revolution, is a riveting and
mysterious tale of young love, political intrigue, family secrets,
and dangerous obsession rendered in prose so gripping I couldn’t
put it down.” —Joy Castro, author of The Truth Book and Hell or
High Water
“With exquisite precision, Jimin Han’s A Small Revolution
transforms the claustrophobic confines of an unfolding hostage
crisis into an expansive meditation on the collisions between past
and present, hope and fear, life and death. Elegant, elegiac, and
unsettling, each new page offers insight and revelation.” —Steve
Edwards, author of Breaking into the Backcountry
“Jimin Han’s A Small Revolution packs a big punch. With a front
story taken from the headlines of gunmen on college campuses and a
haunting backstory of events in Korea, our protagonist is forced
into walking a tightrope between two worlds, as well as the past
and present.” —Alan Russell, author of Lost Dog
