The Last Story of Mina Lee: the Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick

English

By (author): Nancy Jooyoun Kim

A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

'I loved this book so much' REESE WITHERSPOON

---

In 1987, Mina Lee flies from Seoul to Los Angeles to start a new life.

Thirty years later, Margot Lee speaks to her mother for the last time.

Between these two moments extends a lifetime of secrets. These are stories of unexpected loves and devastating losses. Of choices made and those left behind. Of a mother and daughter who have always struggled to understand each other.

These are stories waiting to be told, before it's too late.

Reminiscent of Celeste Ng's page-turning meditations on identity, this searing mother-daughter story explores the diverse and unsettling realities of being an immigrant in America.

'Painful, joyous... A story that cries out to be told' LA TIMES

'Carefully illuminates the two sides of the silence between a Korean immigrant mother and her Korean American daughter, a silence only too familiar to many of us - and emerges with a stunningly powerful and original novel' ALEXANDER CHEE

'A timely, important novel... Fans of Celeste Ng won't be able to put down this heartfelt, cross-generational novel about the powerful bond and fragility of family and what it really means to strive for the American dream' POPSUGAR
