Flashlight
Susan Choi
One night on a breakwater, a father vanishes and his ten-year-old daughter is pulled from the water—the mystery that fractures a family already broken by secrets and displacement. Choi traces how loss reshapes the women left behind, woven through a family's buried history of Korea, North Korea, and the choices that sever us from where we come from.
