WORLD MAGAZINE: Best-Selling Books with Christian Themes
“This big, realistic novel centers on a set of young Korean-Americans working in New York’s financial industry in the 1990s, and their parents. Protagonist Casey is a recent Princeton grad who is aimless, alienated from her family, and deeply in credit card debt. Though Casey and the other well-developed characters seek fulfillment in work, status, attainment, and sex—there’s a lot of it, and bad language—those things don’t satisfy. Because she’s writing about Korean-American culture in which the church has a central role, most of Min Jin Lee’s characters are wrestling with God in some way. That makes this book different: How many novels grounded in New York City reality even acknowledge that God is worth thinking about?” —Susan Olasky
