THE APOLOGY - JIMIN HAN GEBUNDEN

This sweeping intergenerational saga tells the story of a pampered and defiant South Korean
matriarch thrust into the afterlife from which she seeks a second chance to make amends
(Kirstin Chen)—and fights off a tragic curse that could devastate generations to come. In South
Korea  a 105-year-old woman receives a letter. Ten days later  she has been thrust into the
afterlife  fighting to head off a curse that will otherwise devastate generations to come. Hak
Jeonga has always shouldered the burden of upholding the family name. When she sent her
daughter-in-law to America to cover up an illegitimate birth  she was simply doing what was
needed to preserve the reputations of her loved ones. How could she have known that decades
later  this decision would return to haunt her—threatening to tear apart her bond with her
beloved son  her relationship with her infuriatingly insolent sisters  and the future of the
family she has worked so hard to protect? Part ghost story and part family epic  The Apology is
an incisive tale of sisterhood and diaspora  reaching back to the days of Japanese colonialism
and the Korean War  and told through the singular voice of a defiant  funny  and unforgettable
centenarian. Paperback includes a Reading Group Guide  Jimin Han's family recipes  and a
conversation with the author Lit Hub's Most Anticipated Books of 2023 • Shondaland's The Best
