What I'm Reading: Dreamt I Found You by Jimin Han

Something a little different! A gorgeous retelling of a classic Korean story of star-crossed lovers

DREAMT I FOUND YOU

By Jimin Han

Han’s beautifully-written retelling of a classic Korean story of doomed lovers balances updating the tale while simultaneously recounting it through the eyes of contemporary Korean Americans who are navigating their own insular immigrant community and the insular New England beach community they inhabit. Han touches on K-Pop, social media, stalking, childhood trauma, folktales and magic, all the while keeping a light enough touch that I could not put this book down. This is truly a masterpiece!

Thank you to Little, Brown and Company and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy.
