Lead Review

• Book: Somebody’s Daughter: A Novel
• Location: South Korea
• Author: Marie Myung-Ok Lee

What Somebody’s Daughter does do a wonderful job at, I think, is getting at the tensions between mothers and daughters, between personal goals and societal expectations that run through the heart not only of adoption but much of the human experience.  This–particularly in its sense of lost or unrealized connections–made reading Somebody’s Daughter a deeply moving experience for me.
