Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s a litsy comeback! I‘ve read nearly a 100 books since I left Litsy, so it‘s going to be tough to play catch up. But I highly recommend these two gems! Full review in my blog theyellowparasol.com

Well-written fictional version of the author's family's story. I didn't like the third person pov from multiple perspectives because the transitions were nonexistent and it lacked clarity. Another good book by Kim but I liked The Calligrapher's Daughter better!

3.5/5
It took me a little longer to read this one because I haven't been well recently. It was a good read though, told through the perspectives of two sisters kept apart by war. It was well written, i'll probably check out her other novel.

The Kinship of Secrets is author Eugenia Kim's second novel and tells the story of two sisters -Miran and Inja-separated by war and an ocean. While the novel is fiction,the story is inspired by Kim's own family history. We witness the parallel growth of the two sisters , the rise and fall of a nation and the power of hope and secrets.

Currently reading this! It‘s really good yet something is missing. Hoping the ending makes up for that! Have you read this book? It‘s about two Korean sisters who grow up in very different circumstances; Inja in South Korea with her grandparents, Miran in America with their parents.

The story of 2 sisters, only 10 months apart in age, separated as toddlers. In 1948 Inja is left in South Korea with her Uncle & Aunt & her grandparents, as her parents Calvin and Najin Cho, along with daughter Miran, move to the United States in search of better opportunities for their family. Their plan to return for Inja is crushed by the outbreak of the Korean War.
