American Hagwon by Min Jin Lee is a sweeping contemporary family saga exploring immigration, education, ambition, sacrifice, and the pursuit of a meaningful life.

The novel follows John and Helen Koh and their three children, Bo, DH, and Mido, whose comfortable middle-class existence in South Korea is shattered by a personal betrayal and the 997 Asian financial crisis. Seeking stability and a brighter future, the family relocates from Seoul to Sydney and eventually to Southern California.
While their children encounter new possibilities, John and Helen struggle to rebuild their lives in unfamiliar surroundings where their former achievements carry little weight. Throughout their journey, the family holds firmly to the belief that education is the key to lasting prosperity.

Spanning continents and generations, American Hagwon examines the pressures of academic excellence, the complexities of immigrant identity, and the sacrifices parents make for their children. Through an intimate yet expansive narrative, Min Jin Lee asks what constitutes genuine success and whether the pursuit of achievement can come at the expense of love, happiness, and human connection.
