Flashlight by Susan Choi
After a summer night on a breakwater, ten-year-old Louisa is found near‑death and her father, Serk, has vanished. The novel follows Louisa and her mother Anne as they cope with his absence, unravel family secrets tied to Serk’s Korean‑Japanese past and Anne’s strained American roots, and confront the unsettling return of Tobias, Anne’s previously unknown son. Told in shifting perspectives across decades and countries, Flashlight explores memory, identity, and how a single mysterious event reshapes a family.
