And it''s also frequently hilarious...[Wang] is at her most poignant and penetrating. She''s cast her lens, with immense empathy, on how divisiveness has hardened our desolation and made us more desirous than ever of a connection we rarely feel. She''s done what only great fiction writers can do." -- Los Angeles Times "Wang paints an elegantly off-kilter portrait of partnership and its isolations, and of the ungainly, imperfect intimacy of family." -- The New York Times "Blazingly insightful, Weike Wang''s Rental House is a pitch-perfect send-up of all the ways we humans can misunderstand or unintentionally (sometimes intentionally) wound our loved ones and drive each other crazy...[For] basically anyone who is breathing, Rental House is a must-read." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Wang wryly examines the nuances of class and culture, while also showing that, in the messy terrain of a family with wildly varied values and assumptions, surprising--and profound--moments of unity can still be found." --The New Yorker "If you''re desperate for an escape from your family during the holidays, dive into Rental House for a complete immersion into different families with different problems...Sharply observed and compulsively readable, Rental House reminds us that we are all the products of our upbringings, for better or for worse." -- Esquire "Incisively written...Will have you cackling with laughter and provide an insight into the struggles others face with their families." --Seattle Times " Weike Wang has the juice....Like her earlier books, Rental House is also driven by Wang''s devastating deadpan wit. It is truly a marvel...the wit is the energy core that delivers the juice." -- Chicago Tribune " When a couple wed, they also marry their in-laws... a humorous, insightful take on marriage, ambition, race and class." -People "The couple''s attempt to negotiate family pressures and personal desires makes Rental House by Weike Wang an insightful, delightfully snarky book...It might give you an ideal escape from your own extended family over the holidays." -- Real Simple "Sharp, insightful, occasionally heartbreaking, and incredibly relatable." --Gabrielle Zevin, author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow "A sharp and affecting portrait of a couple navigating their hopes, anxieties, and families of origin over time, Rental House is sparkling with insight, its characters drawn with love and precision." --Lisa Ko, author of Memory Piece "Funny and delightful, Rental House is a story for anyone who''s experienced demanding parents, misunderstanding in-laws, a vacation-gone-wrong, or mid-life questions about how to reconcile your own personality liabilities with those of the person you love most." --Elif Batuman, author of The Idiot "Wonderfully acerbic...Wang excels at setting the tone with biting prose...and the scenes of family drama are compulsively readable.

Some years into their marriage, the couple invites their families on vacation. At a Cape Cod beach house, and later at a luxury Catskills bungalow, Keru, Nate, and their giant sheepdog navigate visits from in-laws and unexpected guests, all while wondering if they have what it takes to answer the big questions: How do you cope when your spouse and your family of origin clash? How many people (and dogs) make a family? And when the pack starts to disintegrate, what can you do to shepherd everyone back together? With her "wry, wise, and simply spectacular" style ( People ) and "hilarious deadpan that recalls Gish Jen and Nora Ephron" ( O, The Oprah Magazine), Weike Wang offers a portrait of family that is equally witty, incisive, and tender., DAKOTA JOHNSON'S TEATIME PICTURES DECEMBER BOOK CLUB PICK ONE OF NPR'S "BOOKS WE LOVE" 2024 "One of the most nuanced, astute critiques of America now I've read in years.
