'That wonderful, brilliant sort of book you want to shove at people
as soon as you've finished so they can experience it for
themselves' Erin Morgenstern A thrilling debut novel for fans of
Liane Moriarty and Celeste Ng about how far we'll go to protect our
families - and our deepest secrets. In rural Virginia, Young and
Pak Yoo run an experimental medical treatment device known as the
Miracle Submarine - a pressurised oxygen chamber that patients
enter for "dives", used as an alternative therapy for conditions
including autism and infertility. But when the Miracle Submarine
mysteriously explodes, killing two people, a dramatic murder trial
upends the Yoos' small community. Who or what caused the explosion?
Was it the mother of one of the patients, who claimed to be sick
that day but was smoking down by the creek? Or was it Young and Pak
themselves, hoping to cash in on a big insurance payment and send
their daughter to college? The ensuing trial uncovers unimaginable
secrets from that night: trysts in the woods, mysterious notes,
child-abuse charges, as well as tense rivalries and alliances among
a group of people driven to extraordinary degrees of desperation
and sacrifice. Angie Kim's Miracle Creek is a thoroughly
contemporary take on the courtroom drama, drawing on the author's
own life as a Korean immigrant, former trial lawyer, and mother of
a real-life "submarine" patient. Both a compelling page-turner and
an excavation of identity and the desire for connection, Miracle
Creek is a brilliant, empathetic debut from an exciting new voice.
