About the Book
From the critically acclaimed author of The Apology\, a contemporary retelling of Korea&rsquo\;s Romeo &\; Juliet\, in which the cousin of the star-crossed lovers helps them avoid a tragic fate.
When Dahee Shin was nine years old\, she made a promise to protect her favorite cousin\, Channing\, who has always been like a sister to her. Now\, at thirty\, Dahee has found herself in a Korean American community in a New England beach town\, once more running to the rescue of her debt-ridden relative.
Ever the idealist\, Channing&mdash\;who has spent her life haunted by the tragic story of Chunhyang and Mongryong\, Korea&rsquo\;s parallel Romeo &\; Juliet&mdash\;has fallen in love with Minjae Oh\, all the while fending off the advances of powerful\, manipulative Kent Cho\, a local politician. As Channing and Minjae&rsquo\;s romance blossoms\, and as Kent&rsquo\;s suspicion and obsession grow\, Dahee begins to realize that it may be up to her to make sure her cousin and beloved escape Chunhyang and Mongryong&rsquo\;s doomed end.
For fans of Hello Beautiful\, Dreamt I Found You is a wondrous\, tender retelling of Korea&rsquo\;s most classic love story\, steeped in the travails of a rigid class system\, the power of premonition\, and shot through with Korean folklore and magic.
