In this moving first novel, a Korean-American family faces not only intergenerational cultural conflicts between immigrant parents and their Americanized daughters, but also the results of a terrible prophecy, made by a fortune-teller 20 years earlier to Chinhominey, the long-estranged grandmother.
Nancy Kim brings a light, lyrical touch to this engaging tale of self-fulfilling prophecies and intergenerational conflict among partly assimilated Asian-Americans. * Boston Herald *
