Originally released in 2003, word-of-mouth popularity led to it becoming a #1 New York Times best seller and being translated into 38 languages, propelling Kim into the international literary spotlight. The complex story spans 25 years of a family’s coping with a secret known only to the protagonist and the reader. Kim’s new second novel, The Lake of Dreams, is just as enthralling, with the characters (and readers) learning several secrets over a three week journey when the main character returns home – literally and figuratively – to the New York finger lakes region.
