'Profoundly generous and humane'DOUGLAS STUART 'Engrossing ... brilliantly imagined'COLM TÓIBÍN 'Extraordinary'TARA WESTOVER 'A novel I didn't want to end'ROXANE GAY Min Jin Lee, the acclaimed author of Pachinko, returns with a breathtaking contemporary epic that follows one family as they reckon with personal dreams and familial duty. John and Helen Koh and their three children - Bo, DH and Mido - are building new lives in Korea when they find their worlds upended, first by a terrible betrayal and then by the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Striving to regain their footing, the Kohs set out to do whatever it takes to provide for their children's futures. They leave Seoul for Sydney and eventually settle in California, where new opportunities open for the Koh children, as the parents, strangers in a strange land, adjust to a difficult existence in which their qualifications mean little. Their way forward is lit by the faith that education will lead the next generation to the success and security that have eluded their parents. The Kohs, their friends, relatives and even their foes move in and out of each other's lives as they navigate love, work, fortune and fulfilment across the years. But with each new sacrifice and fresh horizon, larger questions begin to open up before them: what are we willing to give up to secure the happiness of the ones we love? What is the purpose of education? And what is truly important for a good life? American Hagwon is the most ambitious and extraordinary work yet by one of our greatest novelists, Min Jin Lee. 'A world so rich and intricate that you forget you're reading'TARA WESTOVER, author of Educated 'I love American Hagwon so much ... I read huge swaths of this book with my heart in my throat' JACQUELINE WOODSON, author of Red At The Bone 'Magnificent ... a work of grace and beauty' MATTHEW DESMOND, author of Evicted 'A compelling, moving epic of family life ... heart-warming, heart-breaking'ERICA WAGNER, author of Gravity 'Masterful ... a vital and important work' CHARLES YU, author of Interior Chinatown
