Don't look back.
Did Eurydice want to return from the underworld? Did anybody ask?
In this brilliant portrait of rage and resilience, a Korean woman tries to connect with her younger brother and grapple with family tragedy through bedtime stories that weave together Greek mythology, neuroscience, and tales from their grandmother's slipping memory.
Recasting the myths of Eurydice, Orpheus, Persephone, and Hades through the lens of a Korean American family, Eunice Hong's debut novel offers a moving and darkly funny exploration of grief, love, and the inescapability of death.
