Despues de perder toda su fortuna debido a la crisis económica, los Wang, una disparatada familia de inmigrantes chinos, se embarcan en un hilarante viaje a través de Estados Unidos que, quizá, consiga unirlos de nuevo. Charles Wang está cabreado con Estados Unidos. Hasta hace poco era un inmigrante emprendedor que había levantado un emporio gracias a los cosméticos. Sin embargo, se ha arruinado y lo único que desea es volver a China para empezar de cero. El viaje desde su mansión, recién embargada, en Bel-Air hasta Nueva York estará lleno de peripecias. Con su hijo a punto caer en brazos de una seductora; su mujer esperando la oportunidad para abandonarlos, y su hija totalmente obsesionada con sus estilismos, Charles debe escoger entre proteger y conservar a su familia o llevar a cabo su sueño de comenzar una nueva vida en China sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"A hilarious debut novel about a wealthy but fractured Chinese immigrant family that had it all, only to lose every last cent--and about the road trip they take across America that binds them back together. Charles Wang is mad at America. A brash, lovable immigrant businessman who built a cosmetics empire and made a fortune, he's just been ruined by the financial crisis. Now all Charles wants is to get his kids safely stowed away so that he can go to China and attempt to reclaim his family's ancestral lands--and his pride. Charles pulls Andrew, his aspiring comedian son, and Grace, his style-obsessed daughter, out of schools he can no longer afford. Together with their stepmother, Barbra, they embark on a cross-country road trip from their foreclosed Bel-Air home to the upstate New York hideout of the eldest daughter, disgraced art world it-girl Saina. But with his son waylaid by a temptress in New Orleans, his wife ready to defect for a set of 1,000-thread-count sheets, and an epic smash-up in North Carolina, Charles may have to choose between the old world and the new, between keeping his family intact and finally fulfilling his dream of starting anew in China. Outrageously funny and full of charm, The Wangs vs. the World is an entirely fresh look at what it means to belong in America--and how going from glorious riches to (still name-brand) rags brings one family together in a way money never could"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
