Spanning ninety years as one family of gifted Korean women's lives are upended under Japanese imperialism, Honey in the Wound is a powerful and sweeping debut novel for fans of Pachinko and Homegoing.

A sister disappears and returns as a tiger. A mother's voice compels the truth from any tongue. A granddaughter divines secrets in others' dreams.
Spanning ninety years as one family is displaced across Asia, this novel follows Young-Ja, who finds herself struggling to survive after her family is killed by Japanese soldiers.
