简介

**FROM THE ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF PACHINKO**

'Ambitious, accomplished.' NEW YORK TIMES
'A remarkable writer.' THE TIMES
'Exquisitely evoked.' USA TODAY

Casey Han's years at Princeton have given her a refined diction, an enviable golf handicap, a popular white boyfriend and a degree in economics. The elder daughter of working-class Korean immigrants, Casey inhabits a New York a world away from that of her parents. But she has no job, and a number of bad habits.

So when a chance encounter with an old friend lands her a new opportunity, she's determined to carve a space for herself in a glittering world of privilege, power, and wealth – but at what cost?

As Casey navigates an uneven course of small triumphs and spectacular failures, a clash of values and ambitions plays out against the colourful backdrop of New York society, its many shades and divides. Addictively readable, Min Jin Lee's bestselling debut Free Food for Millionaires exposes the intricate layers of a community clinging to its old ways in a city packed with haves and have-nots.

'Explores the most fundamental crisis of immigrants' children: how to bridge a generation gap so wide it is measured in oceans.' OBSERVER
