The Fortunes of Jaded Women by Carolyn Huynh
5.0

4.5 ✨

Thanks to Atria Books for the gifted copy!

A generational story about a family cursed to only have daughters with multiple POVs, mother/daughter and sister relationships, and an exploration of new generations and old traditions. Perfect if you like laugh-out-loud family drama (that reunion chapter had me HOWLING), colonialism jokes, and OwnVoices stories. There was mourning and difficulty, but also strength and hope. A magnificent story of Vietnamese women.
