Description

Ingrid Yung's life is full of firsts. As a first-generation Chinese American, she's about to collect the holy grail of "firsts" and become the first minority woman to make partner at the venerable old law firm Parsons Valentine & Hunt. This debut novel by Helen Wan is an engaging and suspenseful exploration of identity, culture, and the high-stakes world of corporate law. As Ingrid navigates the firm's complex hierarchy, she's forced to confront the consequences of her "passing" - seamlessly blending into the old-boy corporate culture. When an offensive incident at the summer outing threatens the firm's reputation, Ingrid's outsider status is suddenly thrown into sharp relief. With her reputation and career on the line, she must decide whether the prestige of partnership is worth breaching her ethics. With its sharp insights into the cutthroat world of corporate law, this novel raises important questions about identity, culture, and the true cost of success.
