Kyung-sook Shin: I’ll Be Right There
The event was superb. I was surprised that the author's presentation was in Korean, but there was a translator there and although I'm certain she didn't interpret every word spoken and only got the gist and then some, I still got so much out of it - more than I can say. Please keep me posted about any other presentations by authors that you have in future. Again, a wonderful, wonderful event.
