White Ivy: What Did I Just Read?!?!?!?!
White Ivy by Susie Yang is kind of a thriller, with theft, dark secrets, extortion, and murder. But it’s also kind of a manners novel, commenting on class and new money and old money. And it’s kind of a parody of the immigrant narrative, too, with a Chinese-American Undine Spragg or Lola Fabrikant character at its heart.
