“Jade Chang is unendingly clever in her generous debut novel.” – The New York Times. “Jade Chang’s firecracker of a debut knowingly and refreshingly breaks every unwritten rule of the Asian-American family saga, making for a blistering, high-energy read that’s worthy of its prepublication hype.” – Newsday
