Her father is carrying a flashlight. He cannot swim. Later, Louisa is found on the beach, soaked to the skin, barely alive. Her father is gone. She is ten years old. Louisa is an only child of parents who have severed themselves from the past. Her father, Serk, is Korean, but was born and raised in Japan; he lost touch with his family when they bought into the promises of postwar Pyongyang and relocated to North Korea. Her American mother, Anne, is estranged from her Midwestern family after a reckless adventure in her youth. And then there is Tobias, Anne's illegitimate son, whose reappearance in their lives will have astonishing consequences. But now it is just Anne and Louisa, Louisa and Anne, adrift and facing the challenges of ordinary life in the wake of great loss. United, separated, and also repelled by their mutual grief, they attempt to move on. But they cannot escape the echoes of that night. What really happened to Louisa's father? Shifting perspectives across time and character and turning back again and again to that night by the sea, Flashlight chases the shock waves of one family's catastrophe, even as they are swept up in the invisible currents of history. A monumental new novel from the National Book Award winner Susan Choi, Flashlight spans decades and continents in a spellbinding, heartgripping investigation of family, loss, memory, and the ways in which we are shaped by what we cannot see."--]]></description><link>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C751399</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C751399</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Choi, Susan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/751399012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780374616373/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flashlight]]></title><description><![CDATA["One summer night, Louisa and her father take a walk on the breakwater.

Usually, they see things like an eagle fishing for his dinner, a salamander with red spots on its back, and chipmunks that come to steal food while the family sits by the campfire. But this year is different. This year, the boy is going into first grade, and his mother is encouraging him to do things on his own, just like his older brother. And the most different thing of all... this year, a tiger comes to the woods.]]></description><link>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C664088</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C664088</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Choi, Susan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/664088012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780399173295/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust Exercise]]></title><description><![CDATA["In an American suburb in the early 1980s, students at a highly competitive performing arts high school struggle and thrive in a rarified bubble, ambitiously pursuing music, movement, Shakespeare, and, particularly, their acting classes. When within this striving 'Brotherhood of the Arts,' two freshmen, David and Sarah, fall headlong into love, their passion does not go unnoticed -- or untoyed with -- by anyone, especially not by their charismatic acting teacher, Mr. Kingsley. The outside world of family life and economic status, of academic pressure and of their future adult lives, fails to penetrate this school's walls -- until it does, in a spiral of events that catapults the action forward in time and flips the premise upside-down"--]]></description><link>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C669808</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C669808</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Choi, Susan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/669808012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250222022/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[My Education]]></title><link>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C561398</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C561398</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Choi, Susan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/561398012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780143125570/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
