The Last Story of Mina Lee
By Nancy Jooyoun Kim (Sept. 1)
This debut novel tells two interwoven stories: One of Margot Lee, a 26-year-old daughter investigating her mother’s past in hopes of finding the reason for her mysterious death, and another of Margot’s mother, Mina, as she navigates her first year in Los Angeles as an undocumented immigrant from Korea. Kim’s debut has gleaned rave blurbs from Alexander Chee, Chloe Benjamin, Kristen Arnett, and E. J. Koh.
