“In Korean, that word is jeong. It is one of the most meaningful word in my language. It is even more meaningful than sarang, which is the “love,” because jeong is not a duty. It is that feeling of the glad heart when you see someone.”
Thank you, finally a novel with a bit of honesty. We immigrates are just as judgmental and prejudiced as the native Americans around us. And most immigrate stories have the same racist white man as the bad guy. In this story there are plenty of racist Americans to chose from, of all races. The conversations, the obsession with food and culture, and, most importantly to me, the role of women in the home, all rings true. Excellent read.
