And it's... great? They know they're paying their dues and the challenges they meet (Shirin's boss just assumes she knows Cantonese, Nina cannot get promoted by sheer force of will, and Silvia has to deal with daily microaggressions) are just part of "a career in books." When they meet their elderly neighbor, Veronica Vo, and discover she's a Booker Prize winner dubbed the "Tampax Tolstoy" by the press, each woman finds a thread of inspiration from Veronica's life to carry on her own path. And the result is full of twists and revelations that surprise not only the reader but the women themselves"-- Provided by publisher Graphic novels United States Friendship Comic books, strips, etc Graphic novels ddc B 190922 190922 0 0 PPAK G 2023-02-07 0 741.5973 GAV A01768824 2023-02-07 00:00:00 B 0 0 SP G 2023-02-07 3 1 741.5973 GAV A01768825 2025-06-25 16:23:02 2025-06-01 B 0 0 JT G 2023-02-07 0 741.5973 GAV A01768826 2023-02-07 00:00:00 B 0 0 LW G 2023-02-07 0 741.5973 GAV A01768827 2023-02-07 00:00:00 B 0 0 KM G 2023-02-07 2 1 741.5973 GAV A01768828 2024-05-05 14:42:29 2024-04-14 B
