The Hole by Hye-Young Pyun
When Oghi discovers that his wife died in the car accident that left him in a coma and paralyzed, he realizes that his grieving mother-in-law is now his caretaker. Oghi’s world is the size of a cramped bedroom as he watches his mother-in-law uproot his wife’s carefully tended garden to dig holes. Haunted by memories and disturbed by his mother-in-law’s obsession, Oghi begins planning his escape. Claustrophobic and quiet, this novel sits at a low, dread-inducing, simmer.
