1st edition, hardback; signed copy of the author's first novel.  Hardcovers are bumped at one spot on upper edge, some rubbing to spine ends, small closed tear to dj reverse + some edge wear along top edge of same.  Remnants of sticky label on bar code.  Overall a good copy.

The story of Anna, daughter of a Korean mother living in the USA, and how she turns her back on an artist's life in Manhattan to discover her roots in a country where her family had an illustrious history.

The one thousand chestnut trees are on an estate which had belonged to her warrior grandfather, Lord Min.  He had planted them to hide from view a temple he had built in defiance of invasions by the Japanese, Manchus and Communists.

"One Thousand Chestnut Trees is a startlingly impressive debut.  This marvellous - and very moving - book tells its Korean story stylishly and with great skill." - WILLIAM TREVOR
