Book Overview
Yunjae lives a quiet, structured life with his devoted mother and grandmother, who teach him social cues and emotional “scripts” to help him blend into the world despite his emotional limitations. His existence is steady until a violent incident on his sixteenth birthday shatters his routine and leaves him alone. Thrust into uncertainty, he must navigate life without the guidance of his family.
At school, Yunjae encounters Gon, a troubled and emotionally intense boy whose anger and unpredictability stand in stark contrast to Yunjae’s calm detachment. Despite their differences, an unlikely friendship forms between the two. Through their bond—and later connections with others—Yunjae begins to explore emotions not as abstract ideas, but as something real and vital to human experience.
Almond is a moving portrait of growth, empathy, and resilience that challenges readers to rethink assumptions about emotions, normalcy, and connection. It shows that even those who struggle to understand feelings have the capacity to love, heal, and transform through relationships and shared experience.
