Ruth Ware 'A searing examination of racial and family politics that
is also an immaculately constructed whodunit.' Daily Telegraph,
Summer Reads 'Writing a page-turner about racial politics in the
U.S. is a delicate enterprise fraught with pitfalls, but Cha
manages it superbly in this thought-provoking family saga.' Daily
Mail, Summer Reads Grace Park and Shawn Mathews share a city, but
seemingly little else. Coming from different generations and very
different communities, their paths wouldn't normally cross at all.
As Grace battles confusion over her elder sister's estrangement
from their Korean-immigrant parents, Shawn tries to help his cousin
Ray readjust to life on the outside after years spent in prison.
But something in their past links these two families. As the city
around them threatens to spark into violence, echoing events from
their past, the lives of Grace and Shawn are set to collide in ways
which will change them all forever. Beautifully written, and marked
by its aching humanity as much as its growing sense of dread, Your
House Will Pay is a powerful and moving family story, perfect for
readers of Celeste Ng's Little Fires Everywhere and Paul Beatty's
The Sellout. What readers are saying: 'Simultaneously thrilling and
thoughtful... a terrific, fast-moving story of two characters
trying to live with the truth.' 'A must-read.' 'This novel is
wonderful... it will stick with you.' 'Sensitive and astute, it's a
book we need right now, and it's a book that lingers, offering
plenty to think about.' 'A smart, powerful, fully-engaged book that
never once blinks or backs down or takes an easy out, and then
nails one of the best endings I've ever read.'
