She began writing The Silence of Bones after obsessing over books about Joseon Dynasty Korea (early 1800s). Upon graduation, Hur went back to Canada and studied History and Literature at the University of Toronto, two interests that combine in her much anticipated debut novel The Silence of Bones, which was recently selected the American Booksellers Association as one of the top debuts of Winter/Spring 2020, and was also honored as a Junior Library Guild Selection. June Hur was born in South Korea and raised in Canada, moving back to Korea during high school. ![]()
