The starlet and the spy : a novel  Cover Image Book Book

The starlet and the spy : a novel / Ji-min Lee ; translated from the Korean by Chi-Young Kim.

Lee, Ji-min, (author.). Kim, Chi-Young, (translator.).

Summary:

American movie star Marilyn Monroe will be visiting Korea on a four-day USO tour, and Alice has been chosen as her translator. Though intrigued, Alice has few expectations of the job--what could she and a beautiful actress at the peak of her fame possibly have to talk about? Yet the Marilyn she meets, while just as dazzling and sensual as Alice expected, is also surprisingly approachable. As Marilyn's visit unfolds, Alice is forced into a reckoning with her own painful past.
