Amazon.com description: Product Description: âRe Jane is snappy and memorable, with its clever narrator and insights on clashing cultures.ââEntertainment Weekly
For Jane Re, half-Korean, half-American orphan, Flushing, Queens, is the place sheâs been trying to escape from her whole life. Sardonic yet vulnerable, Jane toils, unappreciated, in her strict uncleâs grocery store and politely observes the traditional principle of nunchi (a combination of good manners, hierarchy, and obligation). Desperate for a new life, sheâs thrilled to become the au pair for the Mazer-Farleys, two Brooklyn English professors and their adopted Chinese daughter. Inducted into the world of organic food co-ops and nineteenthâcentury novels, Jane is the recipient of Beth Mazerâs feminist lectures and Ed Farleyâs very male attention. But when a family death interrupts Jane and Edâs blossoming affair, she flies off to Seoul, leaving New York far behind.
Reconnecting with family, and struggling to learn the ways of modern-day Korea, Jane begins to wonder if Ed Farley is really the man for her. Jane returns to Queens, where she must find a balance between two cultures and accept who she really is. Re Jane is a bright, comic story of falling in love, finding strength, and living not just out of obligation to others, but for oneâs self.
Journeying from Queens to Brooklyn to Seoul, and back, this is a fresh, contemporary retelling of Jane Eyre and a poignant Korean American debut.
