The Evening Hero by Marie Myung-Ok Lee

4.0

For fans of Pachinko, The Evening Hero is a family saga of a Korean immigrant family in Minnesota. There are so many themes in this book and Myung-Ok Lee does a marvelous job with each one, from the obvious ones like immigration and racism, to more subtle themes like healthcare in rural America and aging, this book is so well thought out and brilliantly written.

There is a great interview with the author on the Thoughts From a Page podcast which brought even more depth to the story.

Thank you to Simon and Schuster for a digital ARC and finished copy.
