In an instant, their fates are connected-and from this encounter unfolds a saga that spans half a century. In the aftermath, a young girl named Jade is sold by her family to Miss Silver's courtesan school, an act of desperation that will cement her place in the lowest social status. When she befriends an orphan boy named JungHo, who scrapes together a living begging on the streets of Seoul, they form a deep friendship. As they come of age, JungHo is swept up in the revolutionary fight for independence, and Jade becomes a sought-after performer with a new romantic prospect of noble birth. Soon Jade must decide whether she will risk everything for the one who would do the same for her. From the perfumed chambers of a courtesan school in Pyongyang to the glamorous cafes of a modernizing Seoul and the boreal forests of Manchuria, where battles rage, Juhea Kim's unforgettable characters forge their own destinies as they wager their nation's. Immersive and elegant, Beasts of a Little Land unveils a world where friends become enemies, enemies become saviors, heroes are persecuted, and beasts take many shapes. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Courtesans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Orphans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Tiger attacks $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hunters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Korean resistance movements, 1905-1945 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Electronic books. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Love stories. $2 gsafd 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/14032867?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/hpc_9780063093591_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206011754.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3DF8804C940511EE938C1F5A49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
