Lurkers by Sandi Tan

Thank you Netgalley, Soho Press and Sandi Tan for free e-ARC in return of my honest review.
Well, I do have a hard time to collect my thought on the book. First of all, I would have loved to read the Author's Note before I read the book - the plot would be more clearer and I would better see what the author tried to achieve. The story made much more sense after I read the Author's Note.
While reading Lurkers, I was always confused what and who the story was about. Were it two Korean girls who lost their father and were about to lose their life in America as their moms want to go back to Korea? Or was it a elderly author living across the street seeing ghosts and contemplating about his past? It was interesting at part, but very confusing overall.
