    About this audiobook

    Casey Han's years at Princeton have given her a refined diction, an enviable golf handicap, a popular white boyfriend and a degree in economics. But no job, and a number of bad habits. As Casey, the daughter of working-class Korean immigrants, navigates an uneven course of small triumphs and spectacular failures, a clash of values, ideals and ambitions plays out against the colourful backdrop of New York society.

      I love everything about this author, and her books. If you haven't read anything by her. I suggest you start with Pachinko and carry on with this book.
      It's a lovely look into Korean American culture and family. Truly enjoyed it!

      the first two books were 5. the last book was a 2 or 3... so, i'd say 3.5 stars.
    • 4/5
      This book made me feel many things, mainly exasperation and annoyance towards the main character Casey. Her inability to get her life together really tested my patience but also made her so very real for me.
      All the other characters also seem to walk out of the pages from the characteristics depicted.
      Only Sabine truly got on my nerves (massive eye roll).
      It shows parts of the life of immigrants from Korea after the war (basically refugees) that are not visible from the interactions of every day life.
      A great book.
    • 3/5
      Somehow I didn't enjoy this as much as I liked Pachinko. (spoilers ahead). I guess it has more to do with me than with the novel itself because KC's life was filled with so much disappointment and I patiently waited to the end and the ending didn't quite give me the catharsis I needed.
    • 5/5
      What a debut! Min Jin Lee’s writing prowess is undeniably top tier. Having read Pachinko before reading this, I am in awe of her range.
    • 5/5
      Intelligent, curious characters. Cross cultural interest. And a lovely narrative. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
