**FROM THE ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF PACHINKO**

‘This big, beguiling book has all the distinguishing marks of a Great American Novel..’ The Times
‘Exquisitely evoked.’ USA Today
‘Ambitious and accomplished.’ New York Times
‘Could have been penned by Austen herself.’ Daily Mail
'An insight into the secret world of Korean America.' Observer

Casey Han is a strong-willed, Queens-bred daughter of Korean immigrants immersed in a glamorous Manhattan lifestyle she can’t afford. When a chance encounter with an old friend lands her a new opportunity, she's determined to make her way in a glittering world of privilege, power, and wealth – but at what cost?

This sharp-eyed epic exposes the intricate layers of a community clinging to its old ways – a portrait of intergenerational strife, immigrant struggle, and social and economic mobility – set against the glimmering backdrop of late-twentieth-century New York City.

Praise for Min Jin Lee:
‘Powerful.’ Barack Obama
‘A masterpiece.’ John Boyne
‘Deep, broad, addictive.’ David Mitchell
‘Luminous... powerful.’ Junot Díaz
‘Eye-opening.’ The Times
