520    This first-person novel is a devastatingly clear-eyed view
       of societal restrictions & their effects on the young 
       narrator's family in 1960s Seoul. When an orphan boy comes
       to live with her family, eleven-year-old Junehee begins to
       realize that the demands placed on Korean women can 
       destroy their lives. Junehee Lee lives in Seoul in a house
       full of women: three sisters, a busybody grandmother, and,
       always, everywhere, her mother. Her father spends much of 
       his rtime in America working for the army--or out drinking
       with friends. When an orphaned boy comes to stay with the 
       Lees, all the carefully balanced conflicts in the family 
       erupt. Filled with closely observed details of Korean life,
       The Long Season of Rain is an unforgettable coming-of-age 
       saga of great power.
