Praise for Hello Baby: 'The stories of the women in Hello Baby sing like a Greek Chorus about the pain of longing, of unknown futures, and of relentless hope. As much a study of the yearning and process of having a baby through IVF, this novel illuminates the essentiality of female friendship and mutual support through it all. I loved it' Anna Hogeland, author of The Long Answer‘Hello Baby circles the hunger to meet one’s child, who, before birth, is as mythical as any unicorn … For the women here, to take the risk of imagining a child is to irrevocably change the future, no matter the outcome of treatment. This is an intimate, searing story’ Ramona Ausubel, author of The Last Animal‘What a humane, sometimes funny, and always illuminating exploration of the hopeful, painful pursuit of pregnancy and birth that so many people undertake around the world every day. Every character is beautifully drawn; every story gripping and utterly real. This is an important work of art and witness’ Lydia Kiesling, author of Mobility‘Six women bonded in an IVF group chat in Kim’s ultra-contemporary South Korea give voice to their frustrations, vulnerabilities, and strength navigating twenty-first century infertility. In crystalline prose, Kim balances the yearning for motherhood with the exasperating, almost tragicomic weight of overbearing in-laws and checked-out husbands who can’t distinguish one medical procedure from another’ Yoojin Grace Wuertz, author of Everything Belongs to Us
