'Compelling, heartbreaking, and beautifully written . . . Will stay with me forever' Jennie Godfrey
'A novel of secrets, love and grief, it cements Lee as a writer to follow.' RED
*A RADIO 2 WINTER BOOK CLUB PICK*
'A beautiful, tender story of displacement and loss which shows the resilience of the human spirit' Cecile Pin
'Deeply moving and graceful, it shines light on a secret slice of Korea's history, gradually unveiling the secrets that bind - and divide - three generations' Silvia Park
A sweeping story of three generations of women who cross continents and decades to find truth, forgiveness and compassion.
Incheon, 1985. A nameless baby is born in a minbak in South Korea and vanishes nine days later.
London, 2008. When tragedy strikes, Hana faces ruin. She is forced to move her family - her teenage daughter Ada and ailing mother Youngja - into a single room with her, converting the rest of their home into a minbak, in a painful echo of her past life.
In the confined space of their shared room, there is nowhere to hide. As the past collides with the present, all three women are forced to face not only their family's dark history, but that of an entire country.
'Lyrical and devastating Minbak is a flawless meditation on memory, love and misunderstanding.' Ella King
