Nancy Jooyoun Kim In Store For Her New Novel WHAT WE KEPT TO OURSELVES

Join us at Mrs. Dalloway's Bookstore on Thursday, October 26th at 7 pm when Bay Area author NANCY JOOYOUN KIM will read from, discuss, and sign copies of her new novel What We Kept To Ourselves. The New York Times bestselling author of the Reese’s Book Club pick, The Last Story of Mina Lee, returns with a timely and surprising new novel about a family’s search for answers following the disappearance of their mother. Nancy will be joined in conversation by Berkeley author HANNAH MICHELL.

Both a riveting page-turner and moving family story, What We Kept to Ourselves masterfully explores the consequences of secrets between parents and children, hus­bands and wives. It is the story of one unforgettable family’s search for home when all seems lost, and a powerful meditation on identity, migration, and what it means to dream in America.
