She’s divorced, and after an explosive disagreement a decade ago, she’s 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 Saigon’s underground). Though Mai’s three adult daughters, Priscilla, Thuy, and Thao, are successful in their careers (one of them is John Cho’s dermatologist!), the same can’t be said for their love lives. Mai is convinced they might drive her to an early grave.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesperate for guidance, she consults Auntie Hua, her trusted psychic in Hawaii, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA multi-narrative novel brimming with levity and candor, \u003ci\u003eThe Fortunes of Jaded Women\u003c\/i\u003e is about mourning, meddling, celebrating, and healing together as a family. It shows how Vietnamese women emerge victorious, even if the world is against them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Albright Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50698141303079,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/2982\/4807\/files\/The-Fortunes-of-Jaded-Women-By-Carolyn-Huynh-SECOND-HAND-The-Albright-Library-42768402448679.jpg?v=1763531232","url":"https:\/\/thealbrightlibrary.com\/products\/the-fortunes-of-jaded-women-by-carolyn-huynh-second-hand","provider":"The Albright Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
