Truthful and astoundingly intricate, Choi explores the voices and experiences of being Korean American. Each story makes you wanting more and derives beautiful themes about identity, family, and loss. Highly recommend!
Favorite line: "'How's that atrial,' he would ask, and she would become acutely aware that she had one. Actually, two. One on the right and one on the left sides of the heart, according to Mr. Sorenson. It gave her a feeling of strangeness toward her body and all it's functioning parts, as if they were not to be taken for granted."
