Read
Named a Most-Anticipated Book of the Year and a Must-Read by more than 10 major publications, Susan Choi's newest novel, Flashlight, is a haunting, multi-generational story that begins with a mysterious disappearance on a Japanese beach in 1978. Ten-year-old Louisa is found unconscious; her father, Serk, has vanished without a trace – assumed drowned. As the narrative unfolds, it traces Serk's complex past – from his upbringing as a stateless Korean in Japan to his immigration to the U.S. – and the lasting impact of his absence on Louisa and her mother, Anne. In this book, Choi masterfully weaves themes of memory, identity and the silences that shape family histories, crafting a story that is both emotionally resonant and suspenseful.
