Free Food for Millionaires




This thick novel by Min Jin Lee is getting great reviews and deservedly so. Casey Han, a recent Princeton graduate, is determined to succeed in New York. The daughter of Korean immigrants, she has the cleverness and pluckiness of a Jane Austen heroine, not to mention the romantic soul. Surrounded by a large cast of supporting characters of two generations, many social and economic classes, the novel is cinematic in its writing, generous in plot, and offers by turns sly critiques and sincere homage to New York. --Jenny H.
