The Last Story of Mina Lee by Nancy Jooyoun Kim


When her mother, Mina, doesn’t return her phone calls, 26-year-old Margot leaves Seattle for Koreatown, Los Angeles, only to find her mother has died. Searching for answers, Margot delves deep into her mother’s very private past. Told in alternating point-of-view chapters, this is a moving exploration of family, survival, and love, often unspoken. It is a terrific debut!
