Em's Awful Good Fortune
(eBook)
Description
"Em's Awful Good Fortune takes its reader across the world and deep into the heart of its trapped, privileged, suffering, and, ultimately, invincible narrator." -Junot Diaz, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao Set against the backdrop of the expat lifestyle, Em's Awful Good Fortune is about marriage-love and family, work and compromise, betrayal and heartbreak, resentment and resolution. Weaving back and forth in time and between cities and countries, Em's booming voice-fierce, funny, and relatable-is the engine that drives this story. Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Detroit, Los Angeles and Seoul-Em stomps her way around the world on the personal journey to reimagine and reclaim her voice. True to life, this is a disorderly journey-one that ultimately leads to a new understanding of partnership and the complexity of relationships. For lovers of books by Jennifer Egan, Sally Rooney, and Elizabeth Strout.
