A review by arch_wherethro
The Fortunes of Jaded Women by Carolyn Huynh

4.0

It feels ambitious to tackle a family saga with 13 characters for a first novel, but she pulled it off. An insightful, sweet and funny exploration of generational trauma in a Vietnamese-American family, with big love for Little Saigon. I could totally see it as a Netflix show. Four stars only because there were a few rough spots in the prose that yanked me out of the story.
