Amidst this hothouse atmosphere, a tragic incident causes three American women's lives to collide in ways that will rewrite every assumption of their privileged world: Mercy, a young Korean American and recent Columbia graduate, once again finds herself compromised and adrift, trying to start her life anew; Hilary, a wealthy housewife, is haunted by her struggle to have a child, hoping to save her uncertain marriage; meanwhile, Margaret, once the enviable mother of three, tries to negotiate an existence that has become utterly unrecognizable after a catastrophic event. Faced with unthinkable choices, these three women form a profound connection that defies the norms of the sequestered community--finding in each other a strength borne of need, forgiveness, and ultimately hope. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAtmospheric and utterly compelling, \u003ci\u003eThe Expatriates\u003c\/i\u003e showcases Lee's exceptional talent as one of our keenest observers of women's inner lives.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50764120752321,"sku":"9780143108429","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.porchlightbooks.com\/products\/expatriates-janice-y-k-lee-9780143108429","provider":"Porchlight Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
