A globe-trotting, whirlwind, tragic-comic family saga, "Family Trust" by Andrew Sean Greer introduces us to Stanley Huang, a father, husband, ex-husband, and man of unpredictable temper who is dealing with a cancer diagnosis. As Stanley's family comes to terms with his impending death, they begin to realize that there may be a lot less money in the pot than they had anticipated, posing a significant problem in one of the wealthiest parts of California.

The novel explores themes of culture, ambition, love, and family, offering a sharp, funny, and loving portrait of modern Asian-American life. Praised by critics, "Family Trust" has been compared to "Crazy Rich Asians" and "Arrested Development" for its brilliant mashup of genres. The writing is described as silky in satire, with biting, bristling, intelligent commentary on various aspects of society.

The novel deftly weaves together rich family drama, biting corporate satire, and deeply felt immigrant stories, creating a sharp, spirited, and wholly original take on the American Dream. Jillian Medoff praised it as a "wicked and witty send-up of Asian-American Silicon Valley elite," while Micah Perks described it as a delightful debut that Jane Austen would be proud of.

With its engaging characters, witty dialogue, and thoughtful exploration of family dynamics, "Family Trust" is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a well-crafted and entertaining family saga.
