In
her
critically
acclaimed
debut,
National
Book
Award
finalist
Min
Jin
Lee
introduces
the
indelible
Casey
Han:
a
strong-willed,
Queens-bred
daughter
of
Korean
immigrants
who
is
addicted
to
a
glamorous
Manhattan
lifestyle
she
cannot
afford.
Fresh
out
of
Princeton
with
an
economics
degree,
no
job,
and
a
popular
white
boyfriend,
Casey
is
determined
to
carve
a
space
for
herself
in
the
glittering
world
she
craves-but
at
what
cost?
Lee's
bestselling,
sharp-eyed,
sweeping
epic
of
love,
greed,
and
hunger-set
in
a
landscape
where
millionaires
scramble
for
the
free
lunches
the
poor
are
too
proud
to
accept-is
an
addictively
readable,
startlingly
sympathetic
portrait
of
intergenerational
strife
and
immigrant
struggle,
exposing
the
intricate
layers
of
a
community
clinging
to
its
old
ways
in
a
city
packed
with
haves
and
have-nots.
