520 "With the mellifluous tones of shakuhachi music setting
the story, listeners are taken to a time and place far
from the current era. Aurally illustrating the young
bride's quietly independent nature, Osmanski's performance
draws listeners into Willow's story." - Library Journal
"Lee Geum-yi has a gift for taking little-known embers of
history and transforming them into moving, compelling, and
uplifting stories. The Picture Bride is the ultimate story
of the power of friendship-a must read!" -Heather Morris,
#1 New York Times bestselling author "Your husband is a
landowner," they told her. "Food and clothing is so
plentiful, it grows on trees." "You will be able to go to
school." Of the three lies the matchmaker told Willow
before she left home as a picture bride in 1918, the third
hurt the most. Never one to be deterred, Willow does all
that she can to make the best of her unexpected
circumstance. But it isn't long before her dreams for this
new life are shattered, first by a husband who never
wanted to marry her in the first place, and then by the
escalation of the Korean independence movements, unified
in goal, but divergent in action, which threaten to split
the Hawaiian Korean community and divide Willow's family
and friends. Braving the rough waters of these tumultuous
years, Willow forges ahead, creating new dreams through
her own blood, sweat, and tears; working tirelessly toward
a better life for her family and loved ones. "A
beautiful testimony to those women bold and determined
enough to leave behind all that was familiar, seeking a
better life." -Lisa Wingate, #1 New York Times bestselling
author A Macmillan Audio production from Forge Books. LEE
GEUM-YI was born in 1962, in her grandmother's house in
the small, mountainous village of Chungcheongbuk-do,
Korea. She became enthralled with the charms of
storytelling early on, having spent her childhood under
the influence of her grandmother's bedtime stories. Since
then, Lee Geum-yi has published over fifty books in South
Korea, and her work has been translated around the world.
Beloved by readers and literary critics alike, many of her
books have been adapted into TV series, musicals, and
webtoons. The author lives in Seoul, South Korea, with her
husband, son, and her old rescue dog, Lulu. The Picture
Bride is her first novel to be translated into English. AN
SEONJAE (translator) has lived in Korea since 1980. He was
born in Cornwall in 1942, and since 1969 has been a member
of the Community of Taizé, where he is known as Brother
Anthony. He has published some 50 volumes of translated
Korean poetry, as well as the translations of several
Korean novels. "Lee Geum-yi has a gift for taking little-
known embers of history and transforming them into moving,
compelling, and uplifting stories. I loved Willow from the
first page to the last. Loved her courage, and her
tenacious, yet caring, beautiful soul. The Picture Bride
is the ultimate story of the power of friendship-a must
read!" -Heather Morris, #1 New York Times bestselling
author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Three Sisters "A
fascinating journey into the world of Korean "picture
brides" whose lives take unexpected turns as they land on
distant shores. A beautiful testimony to those women bold
and determined enough to leave behind all that was
familiar, seeking a better life." -Lisa Wingate, #1 New
York Times bestselling author of Before We Were Yours and
The Book of Lost Friends "A transporting and immersive
story that will enthrall historical fiction readers.
Poignant and moving, its unforgettable characters will
stay with you long after you've finished reading." -Chanel
Cleeton, New York Times bestselling author of The Most
Beautiful Girl in Cuba "This moving novel takes readers
into the world of Korean 'picture brides,' . . . [A] total
must-read. " -Katie Couric Media "Historical fi
