Product Information
"A beautiful, deliberate and satisfying story spanning 30 years of Korean history . . . Elegant."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review) In early-twentieth-century Korea, Najin Han, the privileged daughter of a calligrapher, longs to choose her own destiny, though her country--newly occupied by Japan--is crumbling, and her family, led by her stern father, is facing difficulties that seem insurmountable. Narrowly escaping an arranged marriage, Najin takes up a new role as a companion to a young princess. But the king is soon assassinated, and the centuries-old dynastic culture comes to its end. Najin pursues a coveted education and is surprised to find love. After one day of marriage a denied passport separates her from her new husband, who continues alone to America. As a decade passes and the world descends into war, Najin loses touch with her husband. Will the love they share be enough to sustain her through the deprivation her country continues to endure? The Calligrapher's Daughter is a richly drawn novel about a nation torn between ancient customs and modern possibilities, and is a "vivid, heartfelt portrait of faith, love and life for one family during a pivotal time in history" ( Bookpage ).

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., The Calligrapher's Daughter fascinated 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., "The Calligrapher's Daughterfascinated me, as much for its characters as for its engrossing story of Korea under the Japanese occupation.
