內容簡介 「啟發人心……極其美麗」——LYDIA KIESLING「我愛死這本書了」——ANNA HOGELAND「親密且灼熱」——RAMONA AUSUBEL在韓國引發女性主義熱潮的《Hello Baby》，是一部描繪母親身份、生育力與女性特質的迷人且親密之作，深受《黃油》（Butter）及《乳與卵》（Breasts and Eggs）讀者喜愛。在對話視窗之外，她們擁有不同的職業、個性與經濟背景；但在視窗之內，她們都是焦慮等待著孩子的準媽媽。在一個名為「Hello Baby」的群組裡，六位女性分享著接受試管嬰兒療程的焦慮與荒謬。她們最初相識於首爾一家名為「Baby Angel」的頂級不孕症診所。在群組外，每個人身分各異——記者、警察、獸醫、律師以及兩位家庭主婦——但在群組內，她們彼此交心。她們知道並非每個人都能擁有快樂結局，但在傳遞訊息時，一切似乎皆有可能。因此，當 46 歲的貞孝突然宣布停止治療並失去聯繫時，所有人都受到了衝擊。一年後的農曆新年，貞孝傳來一則訊息，宣布女兒誕生。當這群驚訝的女性倒數著前往探望她與新生兒的日期時，她們也各自清算著自己的心路歷程。這則消息是否能為她們每個人帶來新的希望？若想揭曉答案，她們必須理解這場驚人的奇蹟究竟是如何發生的。這部在韓國引發熱潮的作品，由金義京撰寫、金素羅（Sora Kim-Russell）翻譯。在這部諷刺、勇敢且誠實得令人措手不及的小說中，提供了一個對當今女性特質與母親身分的獨特且大膽的探索。‘Illuminating … beautifully’ LYDIA KIESLING‘I loved it’ ANNA HOGELAND‘Intimate, searing’ RAMONA AUSUBELA cult feminist hit in South Korea, Hello Baby is a gripping and intimate portrait of motherhood, fertility and womanhood for fans of Butter and Breasts and Eggs.Outside the chat, they had different jobs, personalities, financial backgrounds, but inside, they were all mothers-to-be anxiously awaiting their babies.In a group chat called ‘Hello Baby’, six women share the anxieties and absurdities of undergoing IVF.

They know it is unlikely they will all get their happy ending, but while messaging, anything seems possible. So, when 46-year-old Jeong-hyo suddenly announces she has stopped treatment and goes silent, it rocks them all.One year later, on Lunar New Year, Jeong-hyo sends a message announcing the birth of her daughter. As the stunned women count down to their visit to meet her and the new baby, they each reckon with their own journeys. Might this news hold fresh promise for each of them? To know that they will need to understand just how this unexpected miracle came to pass.A cult feminist hit in South Korea, in this wry, courageous and disarmingly honest novel, Kim Eui-kyung, translated by Sora Kim-Russell, offers a unique and daring exploration of womanhood and motherhood today.
