A joy to read from start to finish.- Andrew Sean Greer, author of Less, winner of the 2018 Pulitzer PrizeThe Nest meets Crazy Rich Asians in this sharp comedic novel about a Chinese-American family's attempts (or not) to fulfill its dying patriarch's final bequest.Some of us are more equal than others....Meet Stanley Huang: father, husband, ex-husband, man of unpredictable tastes and temper, aficionado of all-inclusive vacations and bargain luxury goods, newly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.Meet Stanley's family: son Fred, frustrated that his years of academic striving (Harvard MBA!) haven't protected him from career stagnation; daughter Kate, balancing a capricious boss, a distracted husband, and two small children; ex-wife Linda, familiar with and suspicious of Stanley's grandiose ways; and second wife Mary, giver of foot rubs and ego massages.For years, Stanley has insistently claimed that he's worth a small fortune. Now, as the Huangs come to terms with Stanley's approaching death, they are also starting to fear that Stanley's \"small fortune\" may be more \"small\" than \"fortune.\" A \"study in the difference between expectation and reality\" (npr.org), a bittersweet rumination on what we owe our families, and a sharp-eyed look at Silicon Valley's culture of excess, Family Trust is a \"dryly cynical\" (Globe and Mail) satire of the American dream.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51527358841120,"sku":"NEW0062855255","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81ecyaZpw1L.jpg?v=1777231394","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/family-trust-a-novel-0062855255","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
