8 Lives of a Century-Old Trickster

"Mirinae Lee was born and raised in Korea and pursued English literature studies in the United States. Upon moving to Hong Kong, she decided to embrace the challenge of writing a novel in English. 8 Lives of a Century-Old Trickster is an extraordinary story. It was published by a major American publisher and became very popular. It’s remarkable that a non-native English speaker could pen her first novel in English and capture the imagination of readers worldwide. The content is enthralling. I highly recommend this true masterpiece that vividly portrays the strength of Korean women. I met the author at the Hong Kong International Literary Festival last year, and learned about the existence of this book and the author’s amazing story . After returning home and reading the Korean translation, I am full of admiration and respect and now recommend this novel to everyone."
