A delight. The heist details are occasionally silly (keys and bottle caps?) but then heist plots are meant to be audacious. The story cleverly lures the reader in with the promise of a comeuppance for the dreadful future in-laws, and then delivers a nuanced tale of evolving friendships and relationships. The expectations Chinese society piles on these women are just wild. 

I want there to be a movie. Or better yet, a miniseries, so all the details of the secondary characters aren’t edited out in the service of a 90 minute run time.
