Compelling, suspenseful and unforgettable, THE SURRENDERED is a stunning epic of war, redemption and human longing. It is a masterpiece, fit to stand alongside the greatest novels of the past twenty-five years. Chang Rae Lee might be a new name to you but this Korean-American novelist has had much critical acclaim for his previous three novels.
The Surrendered, set in and around the Korean War, has at its roots a shocking event that really happened to the author’s father and explores the ongoing human consequences of conflict in harrowing, intimate terms. A page turning, compelling read.
June Han has forged a life thousands of miles from her birthplace: she has built a business in New York, survived a husband, borne a child. But her past holds more secrets than she has ever been able to tell, and thirty years after her escape from war-ravaged Korea, the time has come for her to confront them. Hector Brennan, fighter, drinker and 'failure grand and total', is the man who long ago saved June's life.
