Critics Review
Two Women Living Together is a wonderfully calming and cosy read. I always adore stories of women who choose to live beyond the confines of cultural expectation—and this book might just be my new favourite! – Emma Gannon - Sunday Times bestselling author of both fiction and non-fiction, and a former judge for the 2025 Women’s Prize.
Everything about this compelling, curious, beautiful story of two women moving in together, in midlife, is delightful. They made me think about the way I live, and how I might like to change the way I live.I loved the simplicity of the way Hana and Sunwoo wrote about one another, and the profound insights about life and human behaviour they both dropped, like dazzling little bombs, while otherwise describing the way light fell in a room, or the other’s cooking habits. Stepping into the intimacy of their shared world felt like a true privilege: I loved every moment of it.
– Clover Stroud, author of My Wild & Sleepless Nights, The Red of my Blood, and The Giant on the SkylineA rejection of societal norms, this joint memoir is also warm, funny, and full of life. * Glamour *A fascinating aspect of this jointly composed narrative, alternating between authors, is how much it resembles a romcom … Despite the lack of romance or sex gluing them together, they work through the frictions and the fights in order to reap the rewards of mutual care; to experience something that still sounds very much like love. * UnHerd *Gently inspiring for showing women living outside social norms and having a great time while doing so. * Evening Standard *Beneath the warmth lies a radical proposition: that their partnership should be treated like any family … As a portrait of friendship, it is generous and witty … In the absence of legal recognition, stories like Sunwoo and Hana’s matter, making visible the growing number of people turning to friends as their primary source of stability, companionship and care, and demonstrating all the many ways of being a family. * Guardian *About The Author
