Críticas:
"FAMILY TRUST reads like a brilliant mashup of The Nest and Crazy Rich Asians (with a soupçon of Arrested Development for good measure). It's dark and funny and entertaining and thoughtful all at once. The best kind of family drama. I loved every page."--Cristina Alger, author of The Banker's Wife

"A sharp, spirited and wholly original take on the American Dream."--Jillian Medoff, bestselling author of This Could Hurt

"Astute...[Wang] brings levity and candor to the tricky terrain of family dynamics, aging, and excess [and] expertly considers the values of high-tech high society."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"A globe-trotting, whirlwind, tragi-comic family saga that wrings tears from absurdity and laughter from loss. A joy to read from start to finish."--Andrew Sean Greer, author of Less, winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize

"A wicked and witty send up of Asian-American Silicon Valley elite, a delightful debut that Jane Austen would have approved of."--Micah Perks, author of What Becomes Us

"Funny and compelling."--Southern Living

"Appealing, warm and witty...Family Trust is the perfect title, though Crazy Rich Asians (alas, already taken) would describe this deliciously entertaining novel just as well."--AARP Magazine

"[Wang] explores Silicon Valley subculture with wit and ultimately reveals a deep understanding of her feckless strivers."--Booklist

"Readers who enjoy complicated novels about family issues will find this engrossing work impossible to put down."--Library Journal (starred review)

"At once a Chinese-American story, a Silicon Valley story, and a family saga with great characters and robust storytelling. It's smart and wickedly funny, too, which is a winning combination."--Bookreporter.com

NAMED ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF THE FALL BY

The Washington Post · Elle.com · Buzzfeed · Entertainment Weekly · Bustle · The Globe and Mail · Apartment Therapy · Town & Country · Harper's Bazaar

“American literature knows family about as well as anything else....By now the clichés write themselves. Yet debut author Kathy Wang confidently leans into them, spicing up old stories — the tense reunions and fatal betrayals and dying fathers — with fresh faces.” (Entertainment Weekly

Meet Stanley Huang: father, husband, ex-husband, man of unpredictable tastes and temper, aficionado of all-inclusive vacations and bargain luxury goods, newly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Meet Stanley's family: son Fred, frustrated that his years of academic striving (Harvard MBA!) haven't protected him from career stagnation; daughter Kate, balancing a capricious boss, a distracted husband, and two small children; ex-wife Linda, familiar with and suspicious of Stanley's grandiose ways; and second wife Mary, giver of foot rubs and ego massages. 

For years, Stanley has insistently claimed that he's worth a small fortune. Now, as the Huangs come to terms with Stanley's approaching death, they are also starting to fear that Stanley's "small fortune" may be more "small" than "fortune." A "study in the difference between expectation and reality" (npr.org), a bittersweet rumination on what we owe our families, and a sharp-eyed look at Silicon Valley's culture of excess, Family Trust is a "dryly cynical" (Globe and Mail) satire of the American dream.
