Book Description
An unflinching portrayal of the Korean immigrant experience from an extraordinary new talent in fiction. Spanning Korea and the United States, from the postwar era to contemporary times, Krys Lee's stunning fiction debut, Drifting House, illuminates a people torn between the traumas of their collective past and the indignities and sorrows of their present. In the title story, children escaping famine in North Korea are forced to make unthinkable sacrifices to survive. The tales set in America reveal the immigrants' unmoored existence, playing out in cramped apartments and Koreatown strip malls. A makeshift family is fractured when a shaman from the old country moves in next door. An abandoned wife enters into a fake marriage in order to find her kidnapped daughter. In the tradition of Chang-rae Lee's Native Speaker and Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies, Drifting House is an unforgettable work by a gifted new writer.

Book Description
This Canadian classic, by one of the country's beloved authors, is a personal journey through time and space to the heart of family and the soul of the Canadian experience. Drifting Home is an account of a journey by Pierre Berton and his family as they raft down the Yukon River from Lake Bennett, British Columbia, to Dawson in the Yukon Territory. It is a meditation on family and childhood and the small moments from which memories are drawn. It is also a tribute by a son to his father. During the Klondike summer of 1898, Francis George Berton paddled the waters of this historic river. Berton was one of the pioneering adventurers who sought his fortune in the goldfields of the north. When the gold rush ended and the crowds left, he stayed on in Dawson City, Yukon, as government mining recorder, married and started a family. It was there, in Canada's most famous ghost town, that Pierre Berton spent his vividly remembered childhood. Through a unique blending of nostalgia, his deep love of the land and his unrivalled knowledge of the history and the area, Pierre Berton has created this magical tale.

Book Description
Manjiro was a fourteen-year old fisherman when he and four companions were shipwrecked and rescued by an American whaling ship in 1841. Captain William Whitfield of the ship John Howland admired the boy's intelligence and resourcefulness and invited him to his home in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, where Manjiro was given a formal education in English, mathematics and navigation. He later signed on as crew aboard a whaling ship and circumnavigated the globe. Longing for Japan, he joined the California Gold Rush and earned passage home. Manjiro risked execution under the strict isolation policies of Japan's ruling Shogunate, but his timing was good. Commodore Matthew Perry and his "Black Ships" arrived demanding that Japan open her ports, and Manjiro proved useful to the government with his knowledge of Western ways. He deeply influenced the pioneers of modernization in Japan, bridging two cultures, and playing a role on a world stage. An extraordinary life for a poor, uneducated boy from a small Japanese fishing village and a wonderful adventure for the reader. Book jacket.
