Produktbeschreibung

The aunties are back, fiercer than ever and ready to handle any catastrophe-even the mafia-in this delightful and hilarious sequel by Jesse Q. Sutanto, author of Dial A for Aunties. Meddy Chan has been to countless weddings, but she never imagined how her own would turn out. Now the day has arrived, and she can't wait to marry her college sweetheart, Nathan. Instead of having Ma and the aunts cater to her wedding, Meddy wants them to enjoy the day as guests. As a compromise, they find the perfect wedding vendors: a Chinese-Indonesian family-run company just like theirs. Meddy is hesitant at first, but she hits it off right away with the wedding photographer, Staphanie, who reminds Meddy of herself, down to the unfortunately misspelled name. Meddy realizes that is where their similarities end, however, when she overhears Staphanie talking about taking out a target. It turns out Staphanie and her family are The Family-actual mafia, and they're using Meddy's wedding as a chance to take out a target. Her aunties and mother won't let Meddy's wedding ceremony become a murder scene-over their dead bodies-and will do whatever it takes to save her special day, even if it means taking on the mafia.

Autorenporträt

Jesse Q. Sutanto grew up shuttling back and forth between Indonesia, Singapore, and Oxford, and considers all three places her home. She has a Masters from Oxford University, but she has yet to figure out how to say that without sounding obnoxious. Jesse has forty-two first cousins and thirty aunties and uncles, many of whom live just down the road. When she's not writing, she's gaming with her husband (mostly first-person shooters), or making a mess in the kitchen with her two daughters.

Rezensionen

"Meddy Chan and her indomitable aunties are back in the hilarious Four Aunties and a Wedding by Jesse Q. Sutanto." PopSugar

Sutanto deftly blends preposterous humor (British slang, mafia posers) with enduring devotion to prove there is no right or wrongway to being Asian. Booklist

Charming, chaotic, and sometimes ridiculous, this tale will appeal to anyone who both adores and is embarrassed by their family, which is just about everyone. Publishers Weekly

You can't help but get a kick out of the auntie s outrageous stunts and their even bigger hearts. Keep your friends close and these four aunties closer. Kirkus

"Sutanto pushes you to the edge of your seat with this suspenseful rom-com that infuses humor and heritage." USA Today

"There's a kind of magic to Sutanto's writing She tackles complicated issues of culture and family ties while also creating convoluted plotlines that'll make you squeal with laughter." The Wellesley News

"Heart, humor, and the mafia...this saga has it all!" Woman's World
