After I finished the book, I felt as if a sequel needed to be written.
The theme of, “What is home to you?” really plays out in the second half of the book.
- This is shown with the father where he wants to be in the house he grew up in
- The mother when she goes to the DMZ
- Jeehyun when she feels that her home is in Michigan or Korea
- Haejin when she wants to live an independent life away from her parents
