A thrilling debut novel for fans of Liane Moriarty and Celeste Ng about how far we’ll go to protect our families—and our deepest secrets
My husband asked me to lie. Not a big lie. He probably didn’t even consider it a lie, and neither did I, at first . . .
In rural Virginia, Young and Pak Yoo run an experimental medical treatment device known as the Miracle Submarine—a pressurized oxygen chamber that patients enter for therapeutic “dives” with the hopes of curing issues like autism or infertility. But when the Miracle Submarine mysteriously explodes, killing two people, a dramatic murder trial upends the Yoos’ small community.
Who or what caused the explosion? Was it the mother of one of the patients, who claimed to be sick that day but was smoking down by the creek? Or was it Young and Pak themselves, hoping to cash in on a big insurance payment and send their daughter to college? The ensuing trial uncovers unimaginable secrets from that night—trysts in the woods, mysterious notes, child-abuse charges—as well as tense rivalries and alliances among a group of people driven to extraordinary degrees of desperation and sacrifice.
Angie Kim’s Miracle Creek is a thoroughly contemporary take on the courtroom drama, drawing on the author’s own life as a Korean immigrant, former trial lawyer, and mother of a real-life “submarine” patient. Both a compelling page-turner and an excavation of identity and the desire for connection, Miracle Creek is a brilliant, empathetic debut from an exciting new voice.

This is a great debut about an accident which turned into a murder of a kid and a mom. Yet the book covers so much more topics including parenting, growing up, affair, despair, parenting a special need kid, hope, trying to be a parent. The court room scene and the thoughts were described very vividly in detail. Great read.
评分很沉重现实感人的一个悲剧故事，多人视角，情节编排精妙扣人心弦，作者由于亲身经历从而将人物心理感受以及各种社会现象刻画得非常深刻，很优秀的debut小说；空巢爸爸的孤独辛酸，新移民的生存与文化困境，特殊需求儿童的家长们的矛盾心境，不育夫妻的渐行渐远，性暴行的伤害与偏见，爱、欺骗与牺牲，诸多元素精彩地编织在故事中。
评分Angie Kim的写作风格真的有点像Celeste Ng，家庭琐事背后探讨生活和人性。扣一星是因为感觉书的有些地方节奏有点慢。
评分真正成熟的处女作！
评分结局强行升华 节奏过慢 废话过多 虽然关于妈妈的心理描写细腻入微 总体一般般
