About
Seoul, South Korea
Mia is an outsider. Half-English, half-Korean, a translator at the British Embassy; she treads a boundary between her roots and the acceptance she desires from the English – especially her boss, Thomas: a married diplomat.
Thomas’s career is jeopardized by an outrageous indiscretion until Mia comes to his rescue. At first grateful, his feelings are soon complicated by a commission to investigate the background of the woman who has captivated him.
Hyun-min is a defector from North Korea, taken in by Mia’s family. But he has a secret. One that could shatter Mia’s family, her life and the fragile borders around them all.
