A review by janetlweller
Family Trust by Kathy Wang

3.0

Hard to love this book because all of the characters are pretty unlikable, but Wang did end up having me root for them. It is the story of Stanley Huang who is dying from pancreatic cancer. His two grown children Fred and Kate, his second wife Mary, and Linda, his first wife (all Chinese Americans) all wait on tenterhooks to see how much money he will be passing to them. Yes, pretty horrible, but despite this, and the plunge into the less than noble business ventures of Fred and Kate, you do end up caring for the characters. Much too much emphasis on money and wealth, but obviously Wang has much to say about it. Easy reading, if often (I hope!) over the top.
