Description

After graduating from Princeton, Casey Han finds herself caught between the immigrant world of her Korean parents and the polished Manhattan society she longs to join. Without a career or the financial means to support her ambitions, she navigates romance, friendship, family expectations, and the sharp divide between privilege and insecurity. Set against the vibrant, unequal landscape of 1990s New York, this richly layered novel explores identity, assimilation, class, and the difficult search for belonging. With the scope and social insight of a classic nineteenth-century novel, it offers an assured portrait of a young woman—and a city—in the process of defining itself.
