The Satisfaction Café by Kathy Wang
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a quiet, lovely book that started out with focusing on family and wealth and what it meant to enter a family as a third wife when your husband already has grown children. And there were bits that made me mad when she didn’t stand up for herself and bit that made me feel devastated.
But then the book moved to being about community, creating your own community and the loneliness so many of us carry in so many ways and how we can help each other and how most of us just need to talk to someone.
It was a warm and surprising book and I really enjoyed my time with it.
with gratitude to netgalley and Scribner for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
