Praise
Kirkus Reviews
"A sleek, nearly hypnotic glimpse into the world of a Korean family ruptured in translation to America." 10/01/2002 New York Times Book Review
"The real mystery begging to be settled in THE INTERPRETER is Suzy herself--her desires, losses, needs....There's a scene late in the novel when Suzy interprets in an I.N.S. case for a Korean woman who's the same age her mother would be had she lived....Here Kim earns the small, beautiful shiver of sadness that should occur far more frequently in this novel...." - Katherine Dieckmann 01/26/2003
