The Foreign Student
Two outsiders are drawn together in a powerful, emotionally gripping novel of love and war, from the Booker-shortlisted author of Flashlight
In 1955, a new student arrives at a small college in the Tennessee mountains. Chuck is shy, speaks English haltingly, and on the subject of his earlier life in Korea he will not speak at all. Then he meets Katherine, a beautiful and solitary young woman who, like Chuck, is haunted by a dark episode from the past.
Without quite knowing why, these two outsiders are drawn together, each sensing in the other the possibility of salvation.
