Kathy Wang: The Satisfaction Café, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"An insightful, necessary, and beautiful novel." ---Ann Patchett

"Kathy Wang is a born storyteller, vivid and precise, deliciously cool-eyed, immensely readable." ---Jonathan Franzen

A brilliantly crafted, funny, and moving work of literary fiction about one woman's quiet perseverance and the family she builds across generations.

Joan's life is shaped by unexpected turns: she never thought she would live in California, watch her first marriage implode, or fall in love with an older, wealthy American man---becoming his fourth wife and mother to his youngest children.

As Joan and her children grow, she makes a bold change: she opens the Satisfaction Café, a place where connection thrives through conversation. With humor and grace, Joan creates community, builds a legacy, and redefines what family can mean.

Tender, comic, and profoundly moving, The Satisfaction Café is a multicultural family novel about love, loss, resilience, and family dynamics. Perfect for book clubs, summer reading, and anyone who enjoys heartwarming family novels about identity, belonging, and the unexpected joys of life.
