O BEAUTIFUL

How do you find your place in a beautiful but troubled land?

From the critically-acclaimed author of Shelter, an unflinching portrayal of a woman trying to come to terms with the ghosts of her past and the tortured realities of a deeply divided America

“An intimate look at one life and a fearless exploration. With a shrewd eye and sharp sense of humor, Yun finds in the familiar tale of one woman’s return to her small town roots a story as big as the nation itself.”

—Rumaan Alam, bestselling author

“A wondrous, compelling, and insightful portrait. We may tire of hearing we live in an America of complicated times, but Jung Yun’s grand novel has something special and powerful to add, something that splendidly rises above the din. A grand and stunning piece of work, at times humorous, sad, and breathtaking.”

—Edward P. Jones, Pulitzer Prize-winning author
