When the beloved father of an interracial Korean family goes missing, the only witness is his nonverbal, severely-disabled teenage son, Eugene– who also quickly becomes the prime suspect. Mia and her brother John are home from college during the pandemic and join forces to find their father, while protecting Eugene at all costs. As clues bubble to the surface, they challenge everything Mia thought she knew about her parents and siblings. Perhaps Eugene is much more aware of his situation than his condition suggests. With deep philosophical insights, a tense plot, and superb storytelling, this is truly a brilliant novel. With much to discuss, Happiness Falls is a perfect choice for book groups.
