The Surrendered by Chang-Rae Lee
Chang-rae Lee, the bestselling and award-winning author of Native Speaker, Aloft, and My Year Abroad returns with his most ambitious novel yet-a spellbinding story of how love and war echo through an entire lifetime. June Han was orphaned as a girl by the Korean War. Hector Brennan was a young GI who fled the petty tragedies of his small town to serve his country. When the war ended, their lives collided at a Korean orphanage, where they vied for the attention of Sylvie Tanner, a beautiful yet deeply damaged missionary. As Lee masterfully unfurls the stunning story of June, Hector, and Sylvie, he weaves a profound meditation on the nature of heroism and sacrifice, the power of love, and the possibilities for mercy, salvation, and surrendering oneself to another.Chang-rae Lee is the author of Native Speaker, A Gesture Life, and Aloft, which won the Hemingway Foundation/PEN Prize for debut fiction. Chang-rae Lee teaches writing at Princeton University and was named one of The New Yorker's twenty best writers under forty.
