The brilliant debut novel from the New York Times-bestselling author of Pachinko.
'Ambitious, accomplished, engrossing… As easy to devour as a nineteenth-century romance.' NEW YORK TIMES
Casey Han's years at Princeton have given her a refined diction, an enviable golf handicap, a popular white boyfriend and a degree in economics. The elder daughter of working-class Korean immigrants, Casey inhabits a New York a world away from that of her parents. But she has no job, and a number of bad habits.
So when a chance encounter with an old friend lands her a new opportunity, she's determined to carve a space for herself in a glittering world of privilege, power, and wealth — but at what cost?
As Casey navigates an uneven course of small triumphs and spectacular failures, a clash of values and ambitions plays out against the colourful backdrop of New York society, its many shades and divides. Addictively readable, Min Jin Lee's bestselling debut Free Food for Millionaires exposes the intricate layers of a community clinging to its old ways in a city packed with haves and have-nots.
'Explores the most funadmental crisis of immigrants' children: how to bridge a generation gap so wide it is measured in oceans.' Observer
'A remarkable writer.' The Times

    she thought it was accurate, this idea of being against convention, and that it was a good thing for women, because convention ruined all the women she knew. All her life, she had done things differently from the way she’d been told, and it pleased her to no end to collect the payoff on following her wishes and instincts.

    Casey wanted to hold her back, to touch her. It amazed her how much she wanted her mother to touch her, too, and the more persistent this desire grew, the more Casey pulled back, because this need felt dangerous, as though the touch alone might burn her alive

    powerless person’s sorry attempt to regain some dignity
