this poignant watercolor of a novel . . . Kim is a writer on the
move." --O, The Oprah Magazine Ae-ran Kim's My Brilliant Life
explores family bonds and out-of-the-ordinary friendships,
interweaving the past and present of a tight-knit family, finding
joy and happiness in even the most difficult times. Areum lives
life to its fullest, vicariously through the stories of his
parents, conversations with Little Grandpa Jang--his sixty-year-old
neighbor and best friend--and through the books he reads to visit
the places he would otherwise never see. For several months, Areum
has been working on a manuscript, piecing together his parents'
often embellished stories about his family and childhood. He hopes
to present it on his birthday, as a final gift to his mom and dad;
their own falling-in-love story. Through it all, Areum and his
family will have you laughing and crying, for all the right
reasons. "This novel snuck up on me and captured my heart."
