Riverhead Books, 20241203. "Keru and Nate first meet in college, brought together by a joke at a Halloween party (would a 'great white' costume mean dressing like a shark or a privileged Ivy League student?) and marrying a few years later. Misfits in their own families, they find in each other a feeling of home. Keru is the only child of strict, well-educated Chinese immigrant parents who hold her to impossible standards even as an adult ('To use a dishwasher is to admit defeat,' says her father). Nate is from a rural, white, working class family that has never trusted his intellectual ambitions or--now--the citizenship status of his 'foreign' wife. Nevertheless, some years into their marriage, Keru and Nate find themselves incorporating their families into two carefully planned vacations". 20250110. Family Fiction. Immigrant families Fiction.
