The Last Story of Mina Lee – Nancy Jooyoun Kim

The Last Story of Mina Lee is a deeply moving debut novel by Nancy Jooyoun Kim, exploring the lives of a Korean-American mother and daughter separated by secrets, sacrifice, and the immigrant experience. When Margot returns home to find her mother Mina missing, she begins piecing together a past she never knew — uncovering a story of love, survival, and the weight of what we leave unsaid. Told across two timelines, this is a tender, suspenseful novel about the stories our parents carry and the daughters who must learn to listen.

Popular with readers who love dual-timeline family dramas with emotional depth and cultural richness. Perfect for fans of Celeste Ng, Jean Kwok, and Pachinko by Min Jin Lee — and trending among readers who love stories about immigrant mothers and the daughters trying to understand them.
