Description
In the early days of the Korean War, Oksoon and her family cling to the hope that the fighting will end quickly—until the conflict widens and survival demands a desperate flight from Pyongyang. Their journey across a country reshaped by hunger and fear leads them into unexpected company, where love, loyalty, and the smallest acts of kindness become lifelines. Far from the chaos, Oksoon’s cousin Junho finds refuge at an orphanage, where his talent for English turns him into a reluctant messenger for the people who might keep the doors open. As he navigates duty, danger, and a growing attachment to the orphanage’s enigmatic visitor, their intertwined paths reveal how one brief choice can echo across time. With the emotional sweep and multi-generational resonance of genre-defining historical fiction, this novel explores resilience, family bonds, and the cost of hope when war decides the terms.
