01 Nov / Free Food for Millionaires by Min Jin Lee [in Bloomsbury Review]

Free Food for MillionairesAs the daughter of struggling Korean immigrants, Casey Han has created a persona defined by her expensive tastes, her magna cum laude Princeton degree, and a wealthy family friend who is always there to lend a helping hand. Unsure of who she is underneath this veneer, she hops among various apartments and beds in search of both independence and stability. Lee’s almost 600-page debut novel moves quickly, filled with characters who are all damaged, each searching for that elusive thing called happiness.
