Raw, emotionally urgent and peppered with acute detail." -Los Angeles Times "Engaging both history and the needs of the passionate self,Secondhand Worldreveals an exquisite and powerful imagination." -The Providence Journal "Leaves the reader breathless with questions about one's own capacity to forgive." -Ms. "Katherine Min gives such celebrated writers as Louise Erdrich, Zadie Smith and Amy Tan a run for their money. Exquisitely written, wrenchingly imagined,Secondhand Worldwill stand your hair on end." -The Buffalo News, "InSecondhand WorldKatherine Min depicts with wonderful eloquence the coming of age of an unusually spirited heroine-Isadora Myung Hee Sohn-as she struggles to negotiate between her family's Korean past and their American present. A fiercely compelling and immensely intelligent debut." -Margot Livesey, author ofBanishing Verona "What makes this novel so memorable-and hard to put down-is the realness and urgency of its emotion. It's a force that commands the reader from one aching and beautifully concise chapter to the next. Secondhand Worldis both powerful and intimate and offers us a piercing, new view of immigrant isolation. -John Dalton, author ofHeaven Lake "[A] haunting debut . . . Swirling, textured, beautifully detailed . . . Min's rendering of an outsider family's tight-knit alienation is spot-on." -Publishers Weekly From the Hardcover edition., "Told in achingly evocative prose that lingers in your consciousness. . . . Raw, emotionally urgent and peppered with acute detail." --"Los Angeles Times" "Engaging both history and the needs of the passionate self, "Secondhand World "reveals an exquisite and powerful imagination." --"The Providence Journal" "Leaves the reader breathless with questions about one's own capacity to forgive." --"Ms." "Katherine Min gives such celebrated writers as Louise Erdrich, Zadie Smith and Amy Tan a run for their money.

Synopsis
Isadora Myung Hee Sohn--Isa--has just spent ninety-five days in a pediatric burn unit in Albany, New York, recovering from the fire that burned her house and killed her parents. Moving back in time, Secondhand World casts a devastating spell, revealing the circumstances that led to the fire. Growing up the daughter of Korean-born parents, Isa is bullied by American classmates and barely noticed at home. Seeking the company of another outsider, Isa falls in love with Hero, an albino boy. But what starts out as a small teenage rebellion sets in motion a series of events and revelations Isa never could have foreseen.

- f***a (14)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoFrom bummer to great! I had purchased what was listed as a hardcover book in good condition but received a softcover book with significant water damage and staining. I contacted the seller who quickly replied to apologize for the mistake and issued a full refund. While the initial purchase was disappointing, I consider this a highly ethical and honest seller, and I’m sure my next purchase from them will be just fine. Thank you!
