"A gorgeous achievement," praised Min Jin Lee, author of Pachinko. From the author of The Calligrapher's Daughter comes the riveting story of two sisters, one raised in the United States, the other in South Korea, and the family that bound them together even as the Korean War kept them apart.
In 1948, Najin and Calvin Cho, along with their young daughter Miran, traveled from South Korea to the United States in search of new opportunities. Wary of the challenges they knew they would face, Najin and Calvin made the difficult decision to leave their infant daughter, Inja, behind with their extended family, hoping they would soon return to her. However, war broke out in Korea, and the separation became indefinite.
Miran grew up in prosperous American suburbia, constantly aware of the daughter left behind, as Inja grappled in her war-torn land with ties to a family she didn't remember. Najin and Calvin desperately sought a reunion with Inja, but the bonds of love were tested by the distance, time, and ravages of war. As deep family secrets were revealed, the very foundations of what they longed for were threatened to be upended.
Told through the alternating perspectives of the estranged sisters, and inspired by a true story, The Kinship of Secrets explores the cruelty of war, the power of hope, and the complexities of what it means to be a sister. Despite the physical distance and years of separation, the sisters' connection endures, a testament to the unbreakable ties of family.
