Neuware - A Korean mother and son navigate wars, displacement, and identity across decades and borders in a moving multigenerational saga by the author of White Mulberry.In 1943 Japan, the Pacific War rages on. Miyoung, a Korean-born single mother and nurse, defies an order to serve in the Imperial Japanese Army and instead flees with her six-year-old son, Ko-chan, who is leaving everything familiar behind, including the grandparents he loves. Miyoung hopes Ko-chan will finally claim his heritage and that she can reclaim her own as well.Miyoung promises her anxious son an adventure. Their life-changing trek to Miyoung's homeland takes them first to Japan-occupied Manchuria, where Miyoung's brother offers shelter and Ko-chan, coming of age, begins to question where his future lies. When Japan's defeat in World War II forces them to escape again, it triggers a decades-long odyssey of survival, sacrifice, and--for the generations to follow--a search for identity across three nations.A powerful tribute to the endurance of family bonds, Red Seal explores the struggle to define oneself when torn between multiple worlds and by cultural upheaval, and the resilience it takes to find a place to call home.(c) 2026 by Rosa Kwon Easton, all rights reserved.…
