November Sundays

Margot Lee’s mother, Mina, isn’t returning her calls. It’s a mystery to twenty-six-year-old Margot, until she visits her childhood apartment in Koreatown, LA, and finds that her mother has suspiciously died. The discovery sends Margot digging through the past, unraveling the tenuous invisible strings that held together her single mother’s life as a Korean War orphan and an undocumented immigrant, only to realize how little she truly knew about her mother.

Interwoven with Margot’s present-day search is Mina’s story of her first year in Los Angeles as she navigates the promises and perils of the American myth of reinvention. While she’s barely earning a living by stocking shelves at a Korean grocery store, the last thing Mina ever expects is to fall in love. But that love story sets in motion a series of events that have consequences for years to come, leading up to the truth of what happened the night of her death. 

The Last Story of Mina Lee

Hard to believe another year of #SundayBuddyRead is coming to a close. As of this month we are now in YEAR FIVE!!! Such a gift this group has been.

I’m intrigued that the setting of the book is supposed to take place in Koreatown. A place I enjoyed staying at in March/April of 2019.

Looking forward to starting this!
