To hold on, to wait until the worst is over? Such is the burden Samuel Park’s audacious, beautiful, and strong heroine, Soo-Ja Choi, faces in This Burns My Heart, an epic love story set in the intriguing landscape of postwar South Korea. On the eve of marriage to her weak, timid fiancé, Soo-Ja falls in love with a young medical student. But out of duty to her family and her culture she turns him away, choosing instead a world that leaves her trapped by suffocating customs.   In a country torn between past and present, Soo-Ja struggles to find happiness in a loveless marriage and to carve out a successful future for her only daughter. Forced by tradition to move in with her in-laws, she must navigate the dangers of a cruel household and pay the price of choosing the wrong husband. Meanwhile, the man she truly loves remains a lurking shadow in her life, reminding her constantly of the love she could have had.   Will Soo-Ja find a way to reunite with her one true love or be forced to live out her days wondering “what if ” and begin to fully understand the meaning of chamara?   He is not just telling her to stand the pain, but giving her comfort, the power to do so. Chamara is an incantation, and if she listens to its sound, she believes that she can do it, that she will push through this sadness. And if she is strong about it, she’ll be rewarded in the end. It is a way of saying, I know, I feel it, too. This burns my heart, too.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50374723305745,"sku":"CIN1439199612G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53206870655249,"sku":"GOR006893956","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1439199612.jpg?v=1750795770"},{"product_id":"shakespeare-s-sonnets-book-samuel-park-9781555839550","title":"Shakespeare's Sonnets","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50390203007249,"sku":"CIN155583955XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/155583955X.jpg?v=1751022597"},{"product_id":"caregiver-book-samuel-park-9781501178771","title":"The Caregiver","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom the critically acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003eThis Burns My Heart \u003c\/i\u003ecomes a luminous mother-daughter saga (\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e) about a young woman who is forced to flee 1980s Brazil for California, and in doing so unearths the hidden life of her enigmatic mother.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMara Alencar's mother Ana is her moon, her sun, her stars.
