Toward the Light
by Mila Lewis
About the book
Yoo-jin Lee built a life of careful restraint in Brittany. As a former K-drama actor turned music producer, he learned early that wanting things was dangerous. But when the woman who once obsessed over him escapes custody, his careful world begins to fracture. TOWARD THE LIGHT follows two parallel arcs: one man learning to want again, one woman learning that wanting has limits. Set in the coastal villages of Finistère, it's a psychological thriller that understands obsession as grief—quiet, persistent, and ultimately destructive. For readers who appreciate literary sophistication alongside psychological tension.

About the author
Mila Lewis writes literary fiction about the machinery of fame — what it costs to be desired by strangers, and what it does to the people caught in its orbit. Before fiction, she spent years as a technical writer for software companies, learning to say difficult things plainly and trust the reader to keep up. That training shows in her prose: precise, unadorned, with space between the lines for the reader to breathe. She grew up in Southern California, studied in Paris, and now lives in France — which may explain why her novels move between cultures as easily as her characters do. Her literary debts are to Jane Austen, Edith Wharton, Kate Chopin, and Marguerite Duras — writers who understood that the most violent things happen quietly, in drawing rooms and kitchens and the spaces between words.
