Access:
A father’s mysterious disappearance. A mother harbouring a secret. A daughter searching for answers. Flashlight is both a tender family portrait and a gripping geopolitical thriller, set against the changing tides of 20th century history.    

In this unmissable session, Choi sits down to discuss her 2025 Booker Prize–shortlisted novel and the themes that animate it – from the immigrant experience, to the complicated bonds between parents and children, to questions of memory, language and identity. With Beejay Silcox.
