Waxing Moon
"Kim handles interweaving plotlines with an easy, chatty skill; this book reads like a more modern version ofThe Tale of Genji, at once intimate and universal. Highly recommended." --The Historical Novel Society"...a powerful and compelling novel of life in pre-modern Korean countryside." --Al Sandine,The Taming of the American Crowd"H.S. Kim is a gifted storyteller with a disarming voice that makes Korean culture accessible. In her first historical novelWaxing Moon, she has woven a heart-wrenching story of human foibles, love and tragedy, and motherhood." --Andrew Pham,CatfishandMandala
