Women of Good Fortune: A Novel By Sophie Wan
In a glittering Shanghai wedding, Lulu, propelled by societal pressures, reluctantly agrees to marry for money. With her two best friends, Rina and Jane, equally disillusioned with society's treatment of women, they hatch a daring plan to steal the gift money and seize control of their destinies.
Lulu, grappling with familial financial burdens, sees the proposal as a solution, even as her heart protests. Rina, frustrated by workplace sexism, and Jane, yearning for independence from her affluent yet suffocating marriage, share Lulu's desire for financial freedom.
The wedding presents an opportunity to secure the funds they need to break free from their respective constraints. With meticulous planning and a reliable team, they set their sights on the cash gifts destined for Lulu's future.
However, as their scheme unfolds, tensions rise, and personal relationships strain under the weight of their ambitions. The women confront the harsh reality that their pursuit of wealth may exact a toll on their friendships and values.
With humor and heart, the novel navigates the complexities of modern womanhood and the lengths individuals will go to achieve their desires. "Joyous, indulgent, immensely clever," praises Grace D. Li, capturing the spirit of the daring escapade.
In a tale of empowerment and camaraderie, the women of "Set for Life" challenge societal norms and redefine their paths to success. As they navigate the twists and turns of their plan, they discover that true wealth lies not only in financial gain but also in the bonds of friendship and the courage to pursue one's dreams. 📚❤️
