Über diesen Titel
‘Moving and suspenseful’ Jess Walter
‘Heart-stopping’ Patricia Engel
'Wonderful' Jessie Burton
Yu-jin is gifted.
Yu-jin is loved.
Yu-jin is flourishing.
Yu-jin is dead.
Min Ford is searching for his place in the world. The Los Angeles native moves to Seoul to connect with his Korean heritage and find the sense of belonging that he’s never quite felt before.
His girlfriend, Yu-jin, is a student at a prestigious Seoul university and has excellent grades, good friends and a bright future ahead of her. When the police inform him that Yu-jin has taken her own life, he’s sure it can’t be true. He throws himself into finding out why she could have secretly wanted to die. Or did she?
The more he learns, the more he doubts he ever really knew her at all. And some people would rather keep it that way.
For fans of Celeste Ng, this is a profoundly moving and suspenseful drama that untangles the complicated ties that bind families together – or break them apart.

‘When We Fell Apart is a marvellous debut novel, moving and suspenseful, a reminder that the greatest mysteries are those of being and belonging. Soon Wiley is a young writer to watch’ Jess Walter, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins and The Cold Millions
‘A lyrical exposition on what it’s like to be biracial, with one foot firmly planted in two distinct worlds, never completely fitting in, but capable of seeing what others do not. A lonely, heartbreaking, spellbinding story of love, self-discovery, and belonging’ Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
‘Melancholic, atmospheric, and consistently surprising. Like Norwegian Wood, there is a minor key running through this love story played out on the frenetic and lonely streets of Seoul. When We Fell Apart is a transportive and poignant debut’ Susie Yang, New York Times bestselling author of White Ivy
