Re Jane is snappy and memorable, with its clever narrator and
insights on clashing cultures. Entertainment Weekly For Jane Re,
half-Korean, half-American orphan, Flushing, Queens, is the place
she s been trying to escape from her whole life. Sardonic yet
vulnerable, Jane toils, unappreciated, in her strict uncle s
grocery store and politely observes the traditional principle of
nunchi (a combination of good manners, hierarchy, and obligation).
Desperate for a new life, she s thrilled to become the au pair for
the Mazer-Farleys, two Brooklyn English professors and their
adopted Chinese daughter. Inducted into the world of organic food
co-ops and nineteenth century novels, Jane is the recipient of Beth
Mazer s feminist lectures and Ed Farley s very male attention. But
when a family death interrupts Jane and Ed s blossoming affair, she
flies off to Seoul, leaving New York far behind. Reconnecting with
family, and struggling to learn the ways of modern-day Korea, Jane
begins to wonder if Ed Farley is really the man for her. Jane
returns to Queens, where she must find a balance between two
cultures and accept who she really is. Re Jane is a bright, comic
story of falling in love, finding strength, and living not just out
of obligation to others, but for one s self. Journeying from Queens
to Brooklyn to Seoul, and back, this is a fresh, contemporary
retelling ofJane Eyreand a poignant Korean American debut. From the
Hardcover edition."
