You can never know what goes on behind closed doors.
One of The Millions' Most Anticipated Books of the Year (Selected by Edan Lepucki)
Kyung Cho is a young father burdened by a house he can’t afford. For years, he and his wife, Gillian, have lived beyond their means. Now their debts and bad decisions are catching up with them, and Kyung is anxious for his family’s future.
A few miles away, his parents, Jin and Mae, live in the town’s most exclusive neighborhood, surrounded by the material comforts that Kyung desires for his wife and son. Growing up, they gave him every possible advantage—private tutors, expensive hobbies—but they never showed him kindness. Kyung can hardly bear to see them now, much less ask for their help. Yet when an act of violence leaves Jin and Mae unable to live on their own, the dynamic suddenly changes, and he’s compelled to take them in. For the first time in years, the Chos find themselves living under the same roof. Tensions quickly mount as Kyung’s proximity to his parents forces old feelings of guilt and anger to the surface, along with a terrible and persistent question: how can he ever be a good husband, father, and son when he never knew affection as a child?
As Shelter veers swiftly toward its startling conclusion, Jung Yun leads us through dark and violent territory, where, unexpectedly, the Chos discover hope. Shelter is a masterfully crafted debut novel that asks what it means to provide for one's family and, in answer, delivers a story as riveting as it is profound.
A dark and twisted family drama dressed in a thriller. 我犹豫是否给3.5还是4分。但作为作者的第一步作品来说,整体还是很不错的。至少,留给读者很多去思考。 如果从未从父母那得到过爱与呵护,而相反在暴虐中成长,成人后遇到父母需要帮助你会怎么做?原谅与救赎并不是那么简单说说的事。 书名起得太得当了。

评分是shelter还是当铺?我给了你什么,你要还给我什么... 有些人从来就没有做正常人的机会。谁来为这样家庭里的“孩子”发声?说多了就被扣上“不知感恩”的帽子,或要你跟战争中的人比幸福。要么坚强,要么全副“伪”装。亚洲人要和这样的亲子关系撕破脸吗?想撕就撕,不然被憋死吗
