About the book
‘A brilliant, sweeping historical tale’ Irenosen Okojie
‘Paints a heartfelt tale of wartime Korean orphanages and shanty towns’ Yangsze Choo
1950, Pyongyang. Oksoon’s father – confident that the war is over – has left for Seoul in search of opportunity. There is nothing to do but wait, until the Chinese army attacks and forces Oksoon, her mother and her brother to flee southward themselves. But the journey is dangerous, and wartime makes enemies of even the kindest of friends.
Meanwhile, Oksoon’s cousin Junho has found uncertain refuge in a struggling orphanage near the southern coast. When the orphanage director’s rich niece arrives, harbouring a secret, Junho must choose between his duty and his dreams if they are all to survive.
Full of heart and rich in history, Song for Another Home is an unforgettable debut novel and portrait of resilience, courage and love that endures.
