Read a sample Read a sample
In the stunning debut novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Pachinko, the Korean-American daughter of first-generation immigrants strives to join Manhattan's inner circle.
National Book Award finalist Min Jin Lee introduces the unforgettable Casey Han: a strong-willed, Queens-bred daughter of Korean immigrants, who seeks both glamour and insight in Manhattan—a glittering borough she cannot afford. Fresh out of Princeton with an economics degree, no job, and a white boyfriend she cannot introduce to her parents, Casey is determined to claim a space for herself—but how and at what cost?   
Lee’s bestselling, sharp-eyed, sweeping epic of ambition, dreams, and uncertainties of life—set in a landscape where millionaires scramble for free lunches the poor are too proud to accept—is an addictively readable, startlingly sympathetic portrait of intergenerational strife and immigrant struggle, revealing the fascinating lives of a vital community clinging to its old ways in a moneyed city of haves and have-nots.
