A first novel dealing with friendships that are closer than family and the difficulties in bringing family members closer together (especially across generational lines), all set against a backdrop of international intrigue, might sound dauntingly ambitious. In this case, it helps that author Dennis Dunham is on familiar ground – the executive director of international affairs at UCO spent years working, teaching and writing nonfiction in Korea, filling “The Good-Luck Side of the Rice-Paper Door” with unfeigned authenticity. Released January 26 nationwide, it’s available at Full Circle Bookstore now.
