September Virtual Book Tour for BROKEN SUMMER: A Novel by J.M. Lee, translated by An Seon Jae

“What is the statute of limitations on betrayal? How long can a secret be buried before it turns into an earthquake? And will revealing the truth—that slippery concept—provide resolution or peace? Skillfully rendered into English by translator An, the novel contemplates these issues in a murder mystery notable for its nuanced storytelling… A subtle psychological thriller.” – Kirkus Reviews

“Lee excels at psychological realism, and Hanjo’s quest to learn the truth feels naturally driven by deep, painful emotions…This exquisite portrait of minds torn apart by mourning will appeal not just to mystery readers.” – Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

“This is an engrossing and beautifully written mystery, with complex characters that Lee delicately strips bare.” – Library Journal, Starred Review

J.M. Lee is one of Korea’s most renowned authors and a master storyteller.  Since his literary debut over two decades ago, he has written eleven novels, many of them becoming bestsellers.  His latest, BROKEN SUMMER, was an instant bestseller in Korea and will be published for the first time in English on September 1, 2022 by Amazon Crossing.

Lee Hanjo is an artist at the peak of his fame, envied and celebrated. Then, on his forty-third birthday, he awakens to find that his devoted wife has disappeared, leaving behind a soon-to-be-published novel she’d secretly written about the sordid past and questionable morality of an artist with a trajectory similar to Hanjo’s. It’s clear to him that his life is about to shatter and the demons from his past will come out. But why did his wife do it? Why now?

The book forces Hanjo to reflect on a summer from his youth when a deadly lie irreversibly and tragically determined the fates of two families.
