The Homes We Build on Ashes
Alissa McArthur
Christina Park’s contemplative, slow-burning debut novel
The Homes We Build on Ashes reaches far geographically, emotionally, and spiritually. Following the life of a Korean woman named Nara Lee, the novel spans from the Japanese occupation of Korea to late-twentieth century British Columbia. Growing up in colonial Korea, young Nara watches as Japanese soldiers execute her father in front of her eyes. After her mother dies of illness soon after, Nara is sent to live in a dubious orphanage. Through Nara’s difficult journey, Park explores the spiritual resilience of women in the face of colonial and domestic violence.
