An Intimate Portrait of Forbidden Love

Midday on WNYC | Aug 7, 2018

Crystal Hana Kim discusses If You Leave Me: A Novel. An emotionally riveting debut novel about war, family, and forbidden love, the book focuses on two ill-fated lovers in Korea and the choices they’re forced to make in the years surrounding the civil war. This book is a portrait of war, refugee life, and romance as well as an exploration of one woman’s longing for autonomy in a rapidly changing world.

On August 8 at 7 pm, Crystal Hana Kim will be in conversation with Emily Nemens, editor of the Paris Review, at POWERHOUSE @ the Archway (28 Adams Street, corner of Adams & Water Street at the Archway Brooklyn, NY 11201)
