Description: The Fortunes of Jaded Women by Carolyn Huynh Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description For fans of Amy Tan and Kevin Kwan, this sharp and tender debut follows a family of estranged Vietnamese women – cursed to never know love or happiness – as they reunite when a psychic makes a startling prediction. Everyone in Orange Countys Little Saigon knew that the Duong sisters were cursed. Their ancestor Oanh dared to leave her marriage for true love – and was cursed for it: her descendants are doomed never to find love or happiness, and to give birth only to daughters, never sons. Oanhs current descendant Mai Nguyen knows this curse well. Shes divorced, and after an explosive disagreement a decade ago, shes estranged from her younger sisters, Minh Pham (the middle and the mediator) and Khuyen Lam (the youngest who swears she just runs humble coffee shops and nail salons … not Little Saigons underground). Mais three adult daughters, Priscilla, Thuy and Thao, are successful in their careers, but the same cant be said for their love life. Desperate for guidance, she consults Auntie Hua, her trusted psychic, who delivers an unexpected prediction: this year, her family will witness a marriage, a funeral and the birth of a son. This prophecy will reunite estranged mothers, daughters, aunts and cousins – for better or for worse. Filled with joy and humour, The Fortunes of Jaded Women is about mourning, meddling, celebrating and healing together as a family. Written with crackling humour and a shrewd, intimate understanding of Vietnamese American family life … A funny, sharp, and insightful look at family bonds and the effects of tradition on modern life.
