About American Hagwon by Min Jin Lee
After a betrayal and the 1997 Asian financial crisis unsettle their middle-class life in Seoul, John and Helen Koh and their three children move to Sydney and eventually Southern California. There, the parents must adapt to a new country where their previous experience and education count for little, while seeking opportunities for their children.
Spanning years and following the Kohs alongside their friends, relatives, and foes, this contemporary family novel explores the pressures of migration, family duty, and the belief that education can offer the next generation greater security. It may interest readers of literary and historical fiction centered on Asian families and changing lives across countries.
