Excavations (2023)
Hannah Michell
"Excavations is both a tautly written mystery and a clear-eyed examination of deceit, idealism, and burgeoning capitalist development in modern-day South Korea. Through the eyes of Sae, a journalist and former youth activist, Hannah Michell creates transcendent depictions of motherhood, while calling into question what it truly means to know one's family. Excavations pulls off the rare feat of being both thrilling and profound--a multilayered social commentary and an engaging, propulsive, satisfying read."
