O knihe
* ?Wonderfully telling scenes evoke the time, the place, and?more subtly?the deep-running emotions that these people, bound by customs and besieged by troubles, were so rarely free to acknowledge.??Kirkus Reviews, pointer review ?Ms. Choi writes of social, political and personal hurts in a context few young Americans today have experienced. Yet she tells of more than dislocation: she tells of Sookan's personal growth, indeed her triumph.??New York Times
Sookan, the unforgettable heroine of Year of Impossible Goodbyes, is now fifteen years old and a refugee in Pusan, a city in a southern province of Korea. The Korean War is raging, and she once again has been separated from her father and brothers. Anxiously awaiting any news of them, Sookan imagines a time when she can return to a normal life in Seoul. In the meantime, though she often feels sad, alone, and scared, she finds solace in a forbidden friendship and from the mysterious ?shouting poet? who offers her and her fellow refugees inspiration each morning.
