Stars Over Korea: Chronicles of Lost History

Margaret, an American of Korean descent, travels to the land of her ancestors to find out who her grandfather Lee Chulha really was—a mysterious criminal that even the closest relatives feared to mention. During the investigation, which stretched over many years, she encounters a variety of people: professors, shrewd dealers, friends, and enemies of the family. But the main character of this story has been right beside her all along: it is Min Gyumsun, the widow of Lee Chulha, an unyielding woman who kept his secret for decades. Thanks to her, Margaret will finally find the answers to the questions that have troubled her for so long. What mysteries do the archival documents hide? Why has her grandmother so carefully protected the family past all this time? Can we find ourselves without knowing the whole truth about those who gave us life?
