From the award-winning author ofย Chemistry,ย aย sharp-witted, insightful novel about a marriage as seen through the lens of two family vacations
Keru and Nate are college sweethearts who marry despite their family differences: Keruโs strict, Chinese, immigrant parents demand perfection (โTo use a dishwasher is to admit defeat,โ says her father), while Nateโs rural, white, working-class family distrusts his intellectual ambitions and his โforeignโ wife.
Some years into their marriage, the couple invites their families on vacation. At a Cape Cod beach house, and later at a luxury Catskills bungalow, Keru, Nate, and their giant sheepdog navigate visits from in-laws and unexpected guests, all while wondering if they have what it takes to answer the big questions: How do you cope when your spouse and your family of origin clash?ย How many people (and dogs) make a family? And when the pack starts to disintegrate, what can you do to shepherd everyone back together?
With her โwry, wise, and simply spectacularโ style (People) and โhilarious deadpan that recalls Gish Jen and Nora Ephronโ (O, The Oprah Magazine),ย Weike Wang offers a portrait of family that is equally witty, incisive, and tender.
