On the fifth anniversary of my father's death, my mother confessed to his murder...'
Thus begins Nora Okja Keller's breathtaking first novel, which follows Beccah, a young Korean- American girl growing up in Hawaii, as she uncovers the dark secrets of her mother's dislocated past. From being sold into prostitution in the Japanese 'recreation camps' of World War II to the death of her first child and her unhappy marriage to an American missionary; Beccah understands why her mother lives in a spirit world she cannot share, and that clearly marks her as 'other'.
Powerful and lucid, Keller beautifully explores the depths of anguish and love that exist in the universally complicated relationship of mother and daughter.
