A través de esta historia, Keum Suk Gendry-Kim nos cuenta el drama que viven muchas parejas: los retos físicos y psicológicos a los que se enfrentan, las opiniones sesgadas de familiares y amigos dependiendo de si hablan de la futura madre o del futuro padre, la falta de empatía de la comunidad médica...

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A moving comic with autobiographical roots about the impossibility of becoming a parent, by the multi-award-winning author of Grass, The Waiting, and Dog Days, with over 70 000 copies sold in Spain.
“Keum Suk Gendry-Kim’s most delicate book, above all inspired by love, and filled with hope, but also with disappointment.” —Le Quotidien
“Powerful art, with wild strokes and very dense blacks.” —New York Times Book Review
Bada and San, a couple in their thirties, have difficulties conceiving a child. Tired of not being able to conceive, and of listening to all kinds of comments, they decide to undergo an in vitro fertilization treatment. South-Korean society, which still has firm traditional features, will straightforwardly impose its expectations on the young aspiring parents... even when things are not going so well.
Through this story, Keum Suk Gendry-Kim shares the drama that many couples go through: the physical and psychological challenges they face; biased opinions from family members and friends, whether they are talking about the future mother or the future father; a lack of empathy from the medical community... Tomorrow Will Be a New Day is an intimate tragedy inspired by the author’s personal experience, but one that will connect with both female and male readers on more than one continent.
