📚 AMERICAN HAGWON

By Min Jin Lee

From the acclaimed author of Pachinko comes a sweeping contemporary family saga about the dreams we pursue, the sacrifices we make for those we love, and the meaning of a better life.

John and Helen Koh are building a future for their three children in Korea when betrayal and the 1997 Asian financial crisis upend their lives. The family leaves Seoul for Sydney before eventually settling in California, where each generation faces new opportunities and difficult choices.

As the Koh family navigates migration, work, education, love and ambition across continents and years, the novel explores a powerful question: what are we willing to give up to secure a better future for the people we love?
