Praise for Marie Myung-Ok Lee
“That rare book, that rare page-turner, the one you cannot put down, the one you will suspend washing the laundry for or cooking breakfast for. It is the novel you will open and read in one urgent breath as you take in the storyteller’s compelling tale of lives felt long after the book’s end as you turn off the light to sleep.”
—Lois-Ann Yamanaka, author of Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers
