The Foreign Student: A Novel

The Foreign Student is a powerful and emotionally gripping work of fiction that explores the complexities of identity, trauma, and the human condition.

Set against the backdrop of the American South in the 1950s, this novel tells the story of a young Korean man scarred by war and his deeply troubled daughter from a wealthy Southern family.
