The Invisible Hotel

The Invisible Hotel did what many novels attempt which is to make me feel what the protagonist was feeling through description, not by telling me she (and I) felt that way.

I know as much (which is to say very little) about the war(s) in Korea as an average American, but Yeji Ham is able to explain enough without making it feel like a textbook to provide context for the events.

The Invisible Hotel is by turns horrific, surreal, sad, but not without humor and romance.

I can hardly believe this is a debut work!
