在噩梦开始之前，英惠和她的丈夫过着普通的、受控制的生活。但那些充满血腥和残忍的梦境折磨着她，驱使英惠净化自己的思想，彻底放弃吃肉。这是一个独立的小举动，但它打断了她的婚姻，并引发了家里一系列越来越荒唐的事件。作为她的丈夫，她的姐夫和妹妹每个战斗重申他们的控制，英惠痴迷地捍卫选择，成为神圣的她。很快他们的尝试变得绝望，屈服于她的思想，然后是她的身体，更加侵入和反常的侵犯，发送英惠螺旋进入一个危险的，奇怪的疏远，不仅从那些接近她，但也从她自己。

“Provocative [and] shocking.”—The Washington Post

Before the nightmares began, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary, controlled life. But the dreams—invasive images of blood and brutality—torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It’s a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that’s become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself. 

Celebrated by critics around the world, The Vegetarian is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one woman’s struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.
