Five years prior, her parents--hardworking greengrocers who forfeited personal happiness for their children's gain--were brutally murdered in an apparent robbery of their store.

Recenzii

"Fascinating. . . a seductive allegory spun out in appropriately broken prose, that figures translation as detective work." --"Los Angeles Times Book Review"

"[With] the small beautiful shiver of sadness. . . [Kim] speaks succinctly of memory, pain, isolation, and regret." --"The New York Times Book Review"

"Deftly crafted, original, and fitted together by a complex, believable and interesting character, the enjoyment is intense... . .A stunning first novel. . .In these hauntingly enthralling pages, Kim expertly snaps her debut puzzle together." --"Star Tribune" (Minneapolis)

"Powerful and memorable. . .engaging and haunting. . .It lingers in one's thoughts long past the last page." --"Houston Chronicle"

"Bold and edgy, haunting and suspenseful. In "The Interpreter" Suki Kim fractures the image of the happy Asian immigrant and reassembles it shard by compelling shard." --Manil Suri, author of "The Death of Vishnu"
