Wonderfully telling scenes evoke the time, the place, and-more subtly-the deep-running emotions that these people, bound by customs and besieged by troubles, were so rarely free to acknowledge., How terrible the word refugee sounds. Through tear-filled eyes, Sookan stares down at her torn shoes and dirty clothes, and fingers her hair, which has not been washed since she and her mother and younger brother fled the bombing in Seoul three days before. The unforgettable heroine of Year of Impossible Goodbyes is now fifteen years old and newly arrived in Pusan, a city in a southern province of Korea. The Korean War is raging, and Sookan has again been separated from her father and older brothers. Often she feels sad, alone, and scared. Then she meets an intriguing boy named Junho, who is quiet, thoughtful, and handsome, and the two develop a special but forbidden relationship. Times are changing, but are they changing fast enough to allow their friendship to grow? Here is Sookan's story. -- "[A] haunting sequel....[Choi] has once again succeeded in putting a very human face on a tragic episode of world history. this inspirational work possesses a confidence and quiet triumph with universal reverberations." -- Publishers Weekly, Starred, Ms. Choi writes of social, political and personal hurts in a context few young Americans today have experienced. Yet she tells of more than dislocation: she tells of Sookan's personal growth, indeed her triumph.

Although it did arrive a few days late, it was definitely worth $18 for a densely packed, 1000 paged textbook with lots and lots of questions to reinforce your understanding. In terms of the seller and the condition of the book, the seller was very truthful in their description, and marked the book as “acceptable”. I’ve only explored a fraction of the book, and as far as I’m concerned, the majority is “good”. I’m very happy, it looks great, great quality.Fundamentals of Physics Extended (N° 286648984516)
