Description

Casey Han's years at Princeton have given her a refined diction, an enviable golf handicap, wealthy friends, a popular white boyfriend, and a magna cum laude degree in economics. But no job, and a number of bad habits...The elder daughter of working-class Korean immigrants, Casey inhabits a New York a world away from that of her parents. As Casey navigates an uneven course of small triumphs and spectacular failures, a clash of values, ideals and ambitions plays out against the colourful backdrop of New York society, its many layers, shades and divides...'Take Zadie Smith's White Teeth, add the glamour of The Devil Wears Prada, and throw in a social commentary on modern identity crises' Eve.
