Minbak
Book Launch with Ela Lee
The Korean Cultural Centre UK presents an evening celebrating the publication of Minbak by Ela Lee.
Ela Lee was born in 1995 and is a British-Korean-Turkish writer. She studied Law at the University of Oxford and went on to practise as a City lawyer. In 2021, she began work on her debut novel, Jaded, which explores themes of consent, race and identity.
Set between Incheon in 1985 and London in 2008, Minbak follows three generations of women whose lives unfold across continents and decades. Through themes of migration, family, memory and resilience, the novel reflects on exile, inheritance and the enduring presence of the past in the present.
The evening will take place in the format of an informal launch gathering. Guests are invited to arrive from 6 PM, with time to gather and enjoy refreshments provided by the publisher. Remarks from the author and publisher will take place during the evening, followed by a book signing.
