Author of Native Speaker, A Gesture Life, and Aloft, Lee focuses in his fourth novel on a trio of battered survivors. June Han, age 11, is alone and starving in war-torn Korea when she's rescued by an American soldier who has recently lost his father. June recovers at an orphanage where she comforts the director's wife, whose parents were killed in Manchuria. Lee's narrative sweeps across times and places, exploring the lasting emotional consequences of trauma, loss, and violence.
