The brilliant debut novel from the New York Times-bestselling
author of Pachinko. 'Ambitious, accomplished, engrossing... As easy
to devour as a nineteenth-century romance.' NEW YORK TIMES Casey
Han's years at Princeton have given her a refined diction, an
enviable golf handicap, a popular white boyfriend and a degree in
economics. The elder daughter of working-class Korean immigrants,
Casey inhabits a New York a world away from that of her parents.
But she has no job, and a number of bad habits. So when a chance
encounter with an old friend lands her a new opportunity, she's
determined to carve a space for herself in a glittering world of
privilege, power, and wealth - but at what cost? As Casey navigates
an uneven course of small triumphs and spectacular failures, a
clash of values and ambitions plays out against the colourful
backdrop of New York society, its many shades and divides.
Addictively readable, Min Jin Lee's bestselling debut Free Food for
Millionaires exposes the intricate layers of a community clinging
to its old ways in a city packed with haves and have-nots.
'Explores the most funadmental crisis of immigrants' children: how
to bridge a generation gap so wide it is measured in oceans.'
