I'll Be Right There by Kyung-Sook Shin

Set in 1980s South Korea amid the tremors of political revolution, I'll Be Right There follows Jung Yoon, a highly literate, 20-something-year-old woman, as she recounts her tragic personal history as well as those of her three intimate college friends. When Yoon receives a distressing phone call from her ex-boyfriend after eight years of separation, memories of a tumultuous youth begin to resurface, forcing her to re-live the most intense period of her life.

Kyung-sook Shin is one of South Korea's most widely read and recognized novelists, having written multiple works of fiction. The Manhae Literature Award, the Dong-in Literature Prize, and the Yi Sang Literary Prize, as well as France's Prix de l'Inapercu, have all been bestowed upon her. Please Look After Mom is her debut English-language book, and it will be released in nineteen countries. She lives in Seoul and is currently a visiting scholar at Columbia University in New York City.
