Description
The Kinship of Secrets by Eugenia Kim is a poignant and moving exploration of the cruelty of war and the power of hope. In 1948, Najin and Calvin Cho make the difficult decision to leave their young daughter Miran behind in South Korea as they travel to the United States in search of new opportunities. As the sisters grow up on opposite sides of the world, they grapple with the consequences of this separation. Miran grows up in prosperous American suburbia under the shadow of her sister Inja, who is struggling to survive in a war-torn land. The bonds of love between the sisters are tested as Najin and Calvin desperately seek a reunion, but the distance, time, and war threaten to upend everything they long for. Through alternating perspectives, this beautifully told story reveals deep family secrets and explores what it means to be a sister in the face of adversity.
