House of the Winds by Mia Yun
Korea, 1960s, A girl stands in the middle of a sunny cabbage patch with her mother. The air is full of butterflies and secrets. War, Japanese rule and loss are bleeding wounds in living memory. At this world's heart, are Korean women...'laughing, wailing, spirit-cajoling, poetry-writing, tear-hiding, bosom-bracing, scheming, fire-breathing.'
"* 'A lovely, lyrical coming-of-age tale, graced by judiciously blended notes of humour and melancholyA superlative debut.' Kirkus Reviews * 'Yun's first novel is a warm and vivid reminiscence of the relationship between a girl and her mother... Eloquently written in language that is both metaphorical and poetic... excellent.' Library Journal
