“We didn’t call the police right
away.” Those are the electric first words of this
extraordinary novel about a biracial Korean American family
in Virginia whose lives are upended when their beloved
father and husband goes missing.
Mia, the
irreverent, hyperanalytical twenty-year-old daughter, has an
explanation for everything—which is why she
isn’t initially concerned when her father and younger
brother Eugene don’t return from a walk in a nearby
park. They must have lost their phone. Or stopped for an
errand somewhere. But by the time Mia’s brother runs
through the front door bloody and alone, it becomes clear
that the father in this tight-knit family is missing and the
only witness is Eugene, who has the rare genetic condition
Angelman syndrome and cannot speak.
What follows
is both a ticking-clock investigation into the whereabouts
of a father and an emotionally rich portrait of a family
whose most personal secrets just may be at the heart of his
disappearance. Full of shocking twists and fascinating
questions of love, language, and human
connection, Happiness Falls is a mystery, a family
drama, and a novel of profound philosophical inquiry. With
all the powerful storytelling she brought to her award-
winning debut, Miracle Creek, Angie Kim turns the
missing-person story into something wholly original,
creating an indelible tale of a family who must go to
remarkable lengths to truly understand one another.
