This week, A.H. Kim is here to discuss her enormously entertaining new novel Relative Strangers, a modern feminist spin on Sense and Sensibility featuring two half-Korean sisters and their ex-hippie mother, multiple messy love affairs and one explosive secret that could ruin everything.
This is one of the most delightful reading experiences I’ve had in ages. Relative Strangers feels so true to the spirit of the original, but utterly fresh as well.
Calling all Austen fans! In Relative Strangers, A.H. Kim puts a modern spin on Jane Austen’s beloved novel about sisterhood and romance, Sense & Sensibility. Welcome to a world of family secrets, inheritance disputes, and rescues in the rain, as sisters Amelia and Eleanor Bae-Wood meet an array of eligible bachelors. But expect some surprises too… Even Austenites will be guessing right up until the final pages of this stellar retelling.
– Finola Austin, Author of Bronte’s Mistress
