I have always been captivated by novels that explore mental illness in an accurate yet fascinating way, and The Vegetarian by Han Kang was a perfect example of such a book. 
 Following the story of Yeong-hye, a woman living in South Korea who abruptly decides to become a vegetarian, the reader learns about her through three different perspectives: her husband (who views her as a servant or a maid), her brother-in-law (who views her as an object for his desires), and her sister (who is actually somewhat sympathetic to Yeong-hye's plight.) 
 What I loved about this book was that it dealt with this overarching question of "What is sanity?" It was compelling and gripping, and paced extremely well. 
 Although it was primarily told from the three aforementioned characters' perspectives, the reader was also given a glimpse into Yeong-hye's thought process, as well, which was chaotic and fascinating.
