min jin lee's free food for millionaires

I've been hearing a ton of good buzz for Free Food for Millionaires, a recent novel by Min Jin Lee. I'm told it reads like an updated Victorian-era novel filled with a cast of Korean American characters. Heralded as an overnight sensation, it's been showered with praise by literary critics from all over, who are calling Lee a genuine, fresh new voice. Here's the New York Times book review: Korean War. Here's an interview with Min Jin Lee from Newsweek: Forget the Comparisons. She's Unique. And here's Min Jin Lee on NPR's Tell Me More: Author Min Jin Lee: 'Free Food For Millionaires'. It sounds pretty fascinating to say the least, and I'm looking forward to checking it out.
