Dark Roads

Introduction

2024 TLA Golden Book Award

Each of the seven short stories within spotlight a unique manifestation of solitude: unreciprocated love, the lonesome journey to healing, the sorrows of aging and sickness, grief of lost dreams, detachment from the family, loneliness in marriage, and the budding and withering of young love. In exquisite and delicate words, Lee weaves an intricate tapestry of everyday life. These stories of family relationships, while superficially trivial, reflect with precision the psychological difficulties and struggles of ordinary people, lifting the veil on the loneliness buried within while revealing the struggles that persist in the shadows. The soft touch in Lee’s writing beautifully narrates life’s sorrows and joys and the despair and hope that follow.
