Family Trust

- Blurb -

The BuzzFeed Book Club pick. 'A globe-trotting, whirlwind, tragi-comic family saga ... A joy to read from start to finish' ANDREW SEAN GREER, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Less. Meet Stanley Huang: father, husband, ex-husband, man of unpredictable temper, aficionado of all-inclusive holidays and bargain luxury goods. He's just been diagnosed with cancer, and his family are dealing with the fall-out. Meet Stanley's family: son Fred, a banker who never has enough money; daughter Kate, juggling a difficult boss and her two small children; ex-wife Linda, suspicious of Stanley's grand gestures; and second wife Mary, giver of foot rubs and ego massages. For years, Stanley has insisted that he's worth a small fortune. But, as the Huangs come to terms with Stanley's approaching death, they are starting to fear that it's more 'small' than 'fortune'. And that's a problem when you're living in one of the wealthiest parts of California... Spanning themes of cultural expectations, career ambitions, love and - most of all - family, Family Trust is a sharp, funny and loving portrait of modern Chinese-American life. PRAISE FOR FAMILY TRUST: 'A brilliant mashup of The Nest and Crazy Rich Asians ... The best kind of family drama' CRISTINA ALGER, author of The Banker's Wife. 'Deftly weaves together rich family drama, biting corporate satire and deeply felt immigrant story ... A sharp, spirited and wholly original take on the American Dream' JILLIAN MEDOFF. 'A wicked and witty send up of Asian-American Silicon Valley elite, a delightful debut that Jane Austen would be proud of' MICAH PERKS.
