A gripping, witty, insightful and moving family drama set in the Asian-American community in Silicon Valley. A sparkling debut that has drawn comparison to Crazy Rich Asians .

A family drama set in the Asian-American community in Silicon Valley.
´A globe-trotting, whirlwind, tragi-comic family saga ... A joy´ ANDREW SEAN GREER.

Meet Stanley Huang : Father, husband, ex-husband, man of unpredictable temper, aficionado of bargain luxury goods. He´s just been diagnosed with cancer, and his family are dealing with the fall-out.

Meet Stanley´s family : Son Fred, a banker who never has enough money; daughter Kate, juggling a difficult boss and her two small children; ex-wife Linda, suspicious of Stanley´s grand gestures; and second wife Mary, giver of foot rubs and ego massages.

Meet Stanley´s fortune : As the Huangs come to terms with Stanley´s approaching death, they are starting to fear that there´s a lot less in the pot than they thought. And that´s a problem when you´re living in one of the wealthiest parts of California...

Spanning themes of culture, ambition, love and - most of all - family, this sparkling debut is a sharp, funny and loving portrait of modern Asian-American life.

PRAISE FOR FAMILY TRUST :

´Silky in satire, the writing is biting, bristling, intelligent´ Irish Times .

´A brilliant mashup of Crazy Rich Asians and Arrested Development ... The best kind of family drama´ Cristina Alger, author of The Banker´s Wife .

´Deftly weaves together rich family drama, biting corporate satire and deeply felt immigrant story ... A sharp, spirited and wholly original take on the American Dream´ Jillian Medoff.

´A wicked and witty send up of Asian-American Silicon Valley elite, a delightful debut that Jane Austen would be proud of´ Micah Perks.
´Racial stereotyping stalks Fred and Kate´s lives. Wang is especially strong on this element of her story, drawing out the immigrant experience by contrasting the Huang generations ... Wang´s satire has bite´ Sunday Times .
