A colleague recommended this book and I'm so glad she did. This is such a powerful, current, and relevant story. Like the main character, Kyung, I am the child of immigrant parents and this novel really struck home for me.  This is a great title for a book club. I look forward to reading Ms. Yun's next novel.
