From the massively talented Gish Jen comes a barbed, moving, and stylistically dazzling new novel about the elusive nature of kinship. The Wongs describe themselves as a "half half" family, however the actual fractions are more difficult, given Carnegie's Chinese heritage, his wife Blondie's WASP background, and the many ethnic permutations of these adopted and biological children. Into this new American family comes a volatile participant.Her name is Lanlan. She is Carnegie's Mainland Chinese relative, a hardcore, surprisingly lovely survivor of the Cultural Revolution, who comes courtesy of Carnegie's mother's will. Is Lanlan a good nanny, a heartless climber, or a posthumous gift from a formidable mother who never stopped wanting her son to marry a good Chinese girl? Abundant with insight, buoyed by humor, The Love Wife is a hugely satisfying work
