An American author of Korean descent living in London, Mary grew up in a large ex-pat community of women who came of age in postwar South Korea. In 2002, she visited her mother’s childhood village, and it was during this trip she first learned of the “comfort women.” Her debut novel, White Chrysanthemum, was published in January 2018 by Chatto & Windus Books and Putnam Books. She is represented by Rowan Lawton at Furniss Lawton Agency @ James Grant Group

“You followed your heart. That is all I ever wished for both of my children. I'm proud of you ... of your choices for your own lives. I'm happy that they were yours to make. Nothing could give me more satisfaction as your mother. You have what I never dreamed of.”
Mary Lynn Bracht, White Chrysanthemum

“Silence that is what she strives for, so that she can be invisible.”
Mary Lynn Bracht, White Chrysanthemum

“I am a haenyeo. Like my mother, and her mother before her, like my sister will be one day, her daughters too - I was never anything but a woman of the sea. Neither you or any man can make me less than that.”
Mary Lynn Bracht, White Chrysanthemum
