Revenge of the Mooncake Vixen: A Novel
Author: Marilyn Chin
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393077276
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
An uproarious debut that lays bare the complicated generational relationships of Chinese American women. Raucous twin sisters Moonie and Mei Ling Wong are known as the “double happiness” Chinese food delivery girls. Each day they load up a “crappy donkey-van” and deliver Americanized (“bad”) Chinese food to homes throughout their southern California neighborhood. United in their desire to blossom into somebodies, the Wong girls fearlessly assert their intellect and sexuality, even as they come of age under the care of their dominating, cleaver-wielding grandmother from Hong Kong. They transform themselves from food delivery girls into accomplished women, but along the way they wrestle with the influence and continuity of their Chinese heritage. Marilyn Chin’s prose waxes and wanes between satire and metaphorical lyric, referencing classical Chinese tales and ghost stories that are at turns sensual, lurid, hilarious, shocking, and surreal.

Languages : en
Pages : 542
Book Description
They are the lost boys. Sons of mafia mistresses expected to keep their fathers' sins in the shadows. The lucky ones are forgotten. Unfortunately for Valentino "Tino" Moretti, his brother Nova was too smart to be forgotten, and too valuable to risk when he resists a life of crime. So they punished Tino instead. Forced into the cruel world of the Sicilian Mafia at twelve, Tino was broken before he was old enough to know the man he was supposed to be. Now he's what the mafia made him. The enforcer. A trained killer forbidden to love, but he did anyway. He's loved Brianna all along. Raw and beautiful, their romance was all consuming and far too dangerous. They were ripped apart a long time ago. It's not until the borgata puts out a hit on her that Brianna falls back into Tino's arms, churning up their dark past and unraveling all the Moretti brothers' closely guarded secrets. This isn't the end of the story. It's only the beginning, and it is brutal. There's a reason enforcers are considered too deadly to love. "We have to be better than them. Stronger. Faster. Smarter. Lost boys have to fly." Carlo Moretti, original lost boy
