Description: For fans of Jonathan Tropper Amy Tan and Kevin Kwan this sharp smart and gloriously extra (Nancy Jooyoun Kim author of The Last Story of Mina Lee) novel follows a family of estranged Vietnamese women cursed to never know love or happiness as they reunite when a psychic makes a startling prediction. Everyone in Orange County's Little Saigon knew that the Duong sisters were cursed. It started with their ancestor Oanh who dared to leave her marriage for true love so a fearsome Vietnamese witch cursed Oanh and her descendants so that they would never find love or happiness and the Duong women would only give birth to daughters. Oanh's current descendant Mai Nguyen knows this curse well. She's divorced and after an explosive disagreement a decade ago 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. Desperate 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. A multi - narrative novel brimming with levity and candor The Fortunes of Jaded Women pulls off the magic trick of being a heartfelt multi - generational epic as well as a fast - paced hilarious romp. It is your good fortune to have this novel in your hands (Camille Perri author of When Katie Met Cassidy).
