Description
Set against the upheaval of the Korean War, this sweeping debut follows Haemi Lee, a young refugee whose family is driven from home and into an uncertain future. Torn between her enduring love for her childhood companion and the security offered by another man, Haemi must navigate marriage, motherhood, and the demands of survival. Spanning decades and generations, the novel explores forbidden love, family loyalty, displacement, sacrifice, and one woman’s struggle to claim an identity beyond the roles imposed upon her. Lyrical and emotionally intimate, it offers a haunting portrait of war’s lasting consequences and the choices that shape a family’s legacy.
