This is a great short novel about some North Korean spies, a South Korean who runs a restaurant in Oxford, and an American spy of Korean descent who is also part of this whole thing. It bounces around a bit in the timeline, but overall tells a story of what it means to be Korean, or to consider Korea “home” (or not) and what it means to have family (or not). Very self-contained and event-filled without being thriller-y. I liked getting to know these characters and what made their lives complex as well as interesting.
