by Alumna Writer Kim Ae-ran is Featured in the Best Books of the Month, Amazon USA

My Brilliant Life (Forge Books), the first novel by writer Kim Ae-ran, a graduate of the School of Drama, is put on Amazon’s list of the Best Books of the Month in Best Literature & Fiction.

Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, complimented the work as “one of those novels where the characters seem to have immortal souls [who] are so real to me.” In another review, “the humor, wisdom, and grace of this family carry us through a touching story of the hardest of times,” commented Laurie Frankel, New York Times bestselling author of This is How It Always Is.

My Brilliant Life talks about youth and love by illustrating a paradoxical relationship between young parents and old children. The film, play, and musical of the same title also reproduced the work.
