Reviews"Yun keeps the suspense and family drama racing neck and neck... Shelter is a suspenseful, illuminating first novel."-Jane Ciabattari, BBC.com (Nine Books to Read This Month)"[A] fearless and thrilling debut."- Town & Country "Like Celeste Ng's super-lauded best seller, Everything You Never Told Me, also about a dysfunctional mixed-race family's tragedy, [ Shelter ] should find itself on best-of lists, among major award nominations, and in eager readers' hands everywhere."- Library Journal (starred review)

SynopsisKyung Cho is a young father burdened by a house he can't afford. For years, he and his wife, Gillian, have lived beyond their means. Now their debts and bad decisions are catching up with them, and Kyung is anxious for his family's future. A few miles away, his parents, Jin and Mae, live in the town's most exclusive neighborhood, surrounded by the material comforts that Kyung desires for his wife and son. He can hardly bear to see them now, much less ask for their help. Yet when an act of violence leaves Jin and Mae unable to live on their own, the dynamic suddenly changes, and Kyung is compelled to take them in. For the first time in years, the Chos find themselves living under the same roof. Tensions quickly mount as Kyung's proximity to his parents forces old feelings of guilt and anger to the surface, along with a terrible and persistent question: how can he ever be a good husband, father, and son when he never knew affection as a child?
