Reviews
"The Calligrapher's Daughterfascinated me, as much for its characters as for its engrossing story of Korea under the Japanese occupation. Najin's father is admirable for exactly the traits that make him difficult, and her apparently passive mother is heroic. I can't stop thinking about them and their honest, brave, and very human daughter."-Alice Mattison, author ofNothing is Quite Forgotten in BrooklynandThe Book Borrower"InThe Calligrapher's DaughterEugenia Kim beautifully chronicles both the lost world of a traditional Korea and the lost childhood of her remarkable heroine. A coming-of-age story that resonates with larger significance, the novel movingly depicts the emotional cost of transformation and the love and sacrifice that makes transformation possible.The Calligrapher's Daughteris at once the story of a single life as well as the changing life of a nation and, while the details are fascinatingly exotic, the narrative rings with the hard won truths of profound human experience. It is a note-worthy debut from a writer with great heart and real empathy."-Sheridan Hay, author ofThe Secret of Lost Things, "A beautiful, deliberate and satisfying story spanning 30 years of Korean history . . . Elegant."- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Eugenia Kim's sensitive first novel, which depicts 30 years of Korea's modern history in light of its ancient past, is an illuminating prequel to present-day events. . . . Kim recounts a poignant family history, much of it based on her own mother's life. . . . A satisfying excursion into empathetically rendered lives."-Sybil Steinberg, Washington Post "Gripping. . . . Eugenia Kim's debut novel feels particularly fresh. . . . Kim creates a strong, sweet bond between mother and daughter that is maintained throughout the novel."-Anne Morris, Dallas Morning News "Fans of Lisa See's or Amy Tan's novels should eagerly embrace Najin, and The Calligrapher's Daughter bids fair to become a staple of book clubs."-Yvonne Zipp, Christian Science Monitor "Kim has excelled at portraying Najin as a spirited yet loyal daughter and wife while exposing a tragic time during Korea's sustained history as a nation."- Library Journal "Kim opens a window into a vanished world in this sensitively rendered homage to her mother's life. . . . Fans of Lisa See's recently published Shanghai Girls will be drawn into this achingly beautiful tribute to female perseverance and survival."- Booklist "A bold, richly detailed story about the young daughter of a well-known calligrapher in turn-of-the 20th-century Korea. . . . [A] vivid, heartfelt portrait of faith, love and life for one family during a pivotal time in history."-Amy Scribner, Bookpage "In The Calligrapher's Daughter Eugenia Kim beautifully chronicles both the lost world of a traditional Korea and the lost childhood of her remarkable heroine.

Excellent seller -- good communication, item exactly as described, reasonably priced, well packed. Seller shipped immediately but the book took over half a month to arrive, due to the carrier used on the first leg, to get the package to USPS.
