Synopsis

Cross-cultural love, super-stardom, and murder collide in Our Fifth Season. Screen star Adam Ahn is known throughout Asia as Korea's Perfect Gentleman until his arrest for murdering a highly respected female actor. The media paint him as a wolf in sheep's clothing. He has severed all ties with Joanne, the North-American woman he loves, abandoning his dream of a normal life with her and her son, away from the pressures of fame. The caring man Joanne met a year ago at Cornell University may very well live up to all the megastar stereotypes her sister warned her about. Or not. She knows only what surfaces online. Adam's trial looms, and irrefutable proof of his guilt continues to baffle his legal team.

The author says, "People throughout the world fall in love with Venice, Florence, Provence or, increasingly, South Korea. I wrote Our Fifth Season to express my enduring admiration for the people, culture, and history of Korea and share my enthusiasm with readers near and far."

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Josée Sigouin is French Canadian and lives in Toronto/Tkaronto with her Chinese Canadian husband and their two sons. Until 2021, she worked at the University of Toronto, where she specialized in telling stories with numbers. Watching South Korean films and television series twenty years ago launched her on a quest to understand the fascinating culture in ever greater depth. She has learned the rudiments of the Korean language, visited the Land of the Morning Calm multiple times, and read extensively about its past and present. She also turned her attention to telling stories with words, mentored by award-winning authors Dennis Bock and Kim Echlin at the University of Toronto's School of Continuing Studies, and Giller Prize winner Omar El Akkad at a writing residency in Bangladesh. Josée is a founding member of the Toronto-based writing group, First Page. An autobiographical piece about her creative writing journey appears in the Women Writing Letters series, Gailey Road Productions, 2016, and her literary blog. An early excerpt from Our Fifth Season (titled Intersection) was shortlisted for the 2011 Random House of Canada Student Award. In addition to travelling, Josée enjoys cycling, gardening, and welcoming birds to her tiny garden. Our Fifth Season is her first novel. She is currently working on a historical novel set in seventeenth-century Korea.
