英文简介:
A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK For fans of Amy Tan, KJ Dell’Antonia, and Kevin Kwan, this "sharp, smart, and gloriously extra" (Nancy Jooyoun Kim, The Last Story of Mina Lee) debut celebrates a family of estranged Vietnamese women who experiences mishaps and unexpected joy after a psychic makes a startling prediction about their lives.
Everyone in Orange County’s Little Saigon knew that the Duong sisters were cursed.
It started with their ancestor, Oanh, who dared to leave her marriage for true love–so a fearsome Vietnamese witch cursed Oanh and her descendants so that they would never find love or happiness, and the Duong women would give birth to daughters, never sons.
Oanh’s current descendant Mai Nguyen knows this curse well.
She’s divorced, and after an explosive disagreement a decade ago, she’s estranged from her younger sisters, Minh Pham (the middle and the mediator) and Khuyen Lam (the youngest who swears she just runs humble coffee shops and nail salons, not Little Saigon’s underground).
Though Mai’s three adult daughters, Priscilla, Thuy, and Thao, are successful in their careers (one of them is John Cho’s dermatologist!), the same can’t be said for their love lives.
Mai is convinced they might drive her to an early grave.
Desperate for guidance, she consults Auntie Hua, her trusted psychic in Hawaii, who delivers an unexpected prediction: this year, her family will witness a marriage, a funeral, and the birth of a son.
This prophecy will reunite estranged mothers, daughters, aunts, and cousins–for better or for worse.
A multi-narrative novel brimming with levity and candor, The Fortunes of Jaded Women is about mourning, meddling, celebrating, and healing together as a family.
It shows how Vietnamese women emerge victorious, even if the world is against them.
中文简介:
早安美国图书俱乐部精选 对于 Amy Tan、KJ Dell'Antonia 和 Kevin Kwan 的粉丝来说，这部“犀利、聪明、光彩夺目”（Nancy Jooyoun Kim，Mina Lee 最后的故事）首次亮相是为了庆祝一个疏远的家庭在灵媒后经历不幸和意外快乐的越南女性对她们的生活做出了惊人的预测。
橙县小西贡的每个人都知道，杜昂姐妹被诅咒了。
从他们的祖先 Oanh 开始，她为了真爱而敢于离开她的婚姻——所以一个可怕的越南女巫诅咒 Oanh 和她的后代，使他们永远无法找到爱情或幸福，而 Duong 妇女将生下女儿，永远不会儿子们。
Oanh 的现任后代 Mai Nguyen 非常了解这个诅咒。
她离婚了，在十年前爆发性分歧之后，她与她的妹妹 Minh Pham（中间和调解人）和 Khuyen Lam（最小的她发誓她只经营不起眼的咖啡店和美甲沙龙，而不是小西贡的地下）。
虽然 Mai 的三个成年女儿 Priscilla、Thuy 和 Thao 在事业上都很成功（其中之一是 John Cho 的皮肤科医生！），但她们的爱情生活却不能这么说。
麦相信他们可能会把她赶到一个早期的坟墓里。
急切地寻求指导，她咨询了她在夏威夷值得信赖的通灵师华阿姨，她给出了一个意想不到的预测：今年，她的家人将见证婚姻、葬礼和儿子的出生。
这个预言将使疏远的母亲、女儿、阿姨和表兄弟团聚——无论好坏。
一部充满轻浮和坦率的多叙事小说，《疲惫女人的财富》讲述的是一家人一起哀悼、干涉、庆祝和治愈。
它展示了越南女性如何取得胜利，即使世界反对她们。
