Critics Review
Praise for The Family Recipe
“This story about bickering Vietnamese American siblings and their secretive elders is a funny yet poignant tale of one family’s search for belonging and understanding.” —Charmaine Wilkerson, New York Times bestselling author of Black Cake
“Carolyn Huynh once again shares her wondrous ability to blend humor, history, and heart through her intricately woven story. With wit, warmth, and insight, she brings to life the powerfully haunting experience of survival and sacrifice for the Tran family, their secrets and struggles pushing them to a reckoning point. In The Family Recipe, Huynh explores complicated, fraught relationships and examines the sacrifices of reaching for the American dream, all while delighting us with her unforgettable characters. Vivid, whimsical, and wonderfully satisfying.” —Diane Marie Brown, author of Black Candle Women
“You can always count me in for a story about generations of cursed women, but I was surprised—and thoroughly delighted—to discover how much I would laugh out loud at the exploits of these mothers, daughters, and sisters. Carolyn Huynh’s The Fortunes of Jaded Women is a terrific debut. I’m eager to read more from her.” – Lisa See, the New York Times bestselling author of The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane
“Superstition, sibling rivalry, well-meaning mothers who meddle in the lives of their daughters—who then grow up to be well-meaning mothers who meddle in the lives of their daughters. 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, acclaimed author of The Assistants and When Katie Met Cassidy
