* Longlisted for the HWA Debut Crown Longlist 2022 * 'A stunning
achievement' TLS 'Unforgettable' Nguyen Phan Que Mai, author of The
Mountains Sing As the Korean independence movement gathers pace,
two children meet on the streets of Seoul. Fate will bind them
through decades of love and war. They just don't know it yet. It is
1917, and Korea is under Japanese occupation. With the threat of
famine looming, ten-year-old Jade is sold by her desperate family
to Miss Silver's courtesan school in the bustling city of
Pyongyang. As the Japanese army tears through the country, she is
forced to flee to the southern city of Seoul. Soon, her path
crosses with that of an orphan named JungHo, a chance encounter
that will lead to a life-changing friendship. But when JungHo is
pulled into the revolutionary fight for independence, Jade must
decide between following her own ambitions and risking everything
for the one she loves. Sweeping through five decades of Korean
history, Juhea Kim's sparkling debut is an intricately woven tale
of love stretched to breaking point, and two people who refuse to
let go.
