ALL THE TOMORROWS AFTER

Greta Jung's narration quickly establishes the reasons for 17-year-old Korean American Winter Moon's sarcasm. Her tone becomes understandable when Winter's selfish, caustic mother comes into the picture. Jung also depicts Winter's tenderness toward her loving grandmother, Halmoni, and her heartbreak at Halmoni's death. These are only some of Jung's portrayals of complex characters and complicated relationships in this coming-of-age story. When her estranged father re-enters her life, their fragile relationship becomes complicated when his ALS is revealed. Winter's first relationship with the sensitive Joon balances her, but this too raises questions. Jung's deep portraits of all these relationships make for a propelling listen. S.W.
