The Last Exiles (2021)
Ann Shin
"With a love for her characters that is infectious, Ann Shin immerses us in the lives of two young lovers fleeing the dictates of one of the most oppressive regimes on earth. The Last Exiles is an exhilarating page-turner, at once intimate and epic, and a testament to resilience and hope."
