THE PROMISE OF THE TEA-GODS BY H. K. O'HARA: A MEGA-NOVEL INSPIRED BY A TRUE EVENT IN THE AUTHOR'S LIFE
Her crime was sending him a birthday card, and Kim Soo-kang-a well-known South Korean ballad singer-didn't think twice about deleting her from his friends list. After all, he didn't really know her, so she didn't really matter-she was just-another-nobody trying to be somebody by way of being a nuisance.
Being deleted because of a small gesture of kindness might make a girl cry. But she wasn't a girl, she was a woman with a rare gift-the American poet, K, who always found something beautiful among the sharp stones and dark sounds of that other world. The world where men who live in golden cages often sing the saddest songs. And just when Soo-kang's life hits an unbearably lonely note, she arrives in South Korea, looks into his eyes, smiles, and touches his hand-a touch that makes his soul sing.
And then the secrets start to unfold. Big Secrets. Secrets that multiply at the speed of light.
***A TRANSCENDENTAL LOVE STORY, this metaphysical mega-novel sparkles with mystery, empowering messages, a touch of magic, and a romance that spans thousands of lifetimes.
