Cross-cultural love, super-stardom, and murder collide in Our Fifth Season. Screen star Adam Ahn is known throughout Asia as Korea's Perfect Gentleman until his arrest for murdering a highly respected female actor. The media paint him as a wolf in sheep's clothing. He has severed all ties with Joanne, the North-American woman he loves, abandoning his dream of a normal life with her and her son, away from the pressures of fame. The caring man Joanne met a year ago at Cornell University may very well live up to all the megastar stereotypes her sister warned her about. Or not. She knows only what surfaces online. Adam's trial looms, and irrefutable proof of his guilt continues to baffle his legal team

"A new, and totally engrossing take on star-crossed lovers, with a deft combination of tense drama and evocative, lyrical prose." - Liz Torlée, author of The Way Things Fall

"Josée Sigouin eloquently navigates her protagonists' tortuous path through a transcontinental love affair and a charge of murder." - Michelle Alfano, author of The Unfinished Dollhouse: A Memoir of Gender and Identity

"Whether in a courtroom, a K-drama film set or scenes of quiet introspection, Sigouin's prose glides like silk through one's fingers. I was happily lost in the beauty of the worlds created here and missed Adam and Joanna as soon as I read the final line. A luminous story." - Arif Anwar, author of The Storm
