À propos de cet audio

 A tender and funny debut about a Vietnamese Canadian family who will do whatever it takes to keep their no-frills nail salon afloat after a multimillion-dollar chain opens across the street.

Vietnamese refugees Debbie and Phil Tran have made a good life for themselves in Toronto, but their landlord has just jacked up the rent of their family-run nail salon, Sunshine Nails, and it’s way more than they can afford. When Take Ten, a glamorous chain offering a more luxurious salon experience, moves into the neighborhood, the Tran family is terrified of losing their business—and the community they’ve built around them.

But daughter Jessica comes to their rescue. She’s just moved back home after a messy breakup and an even messier firing. Together with her workaholic brother, Dustin, and recently immigrated cousin, Thuy, they devise some good old-fashioned sabotage. But as the line between right and wrong gets blurred, relationships are put to the test, and Debbie and Phil must choose: Do they keep their family intact or fight for their salon?

Full of memorable manicures and even more memorable characters, Sunshine Nails is a humorous and heartfelt novel about family, resilience, and what it means to start over. Fiction Fiction de genre Historique Littérature et fiction Littérature mondiale Drôle Spirituel Sincère

I’ve never read a book that was based in my own city before and now I am so ashamed. It was so comforting to read in a setting a new so well. This was a topic I needed to explore and characters I needed to know. It was easy to fall in love with them and route for their stories. This was light and entertaining and educational all at the same time. I’m so glad I consumed it!

Love for a local read

What I enjoyed most about this story is the reality for immigrants in cities that are propped up for the privileged ones.

The Trans have established not only a business but a place where their clients feel as if they have a safe space. Now, a shiny boutique nail salon threatens that, and they must make moves to ensure their survival.

There is family drama and social commentary, all done lightly and so well that it doesn't drag the book into overdone 'social justice warrior' territory. Nguyen is just penning what she knows and has experienced.

In this familiar landscape, I see a family that is learning together and that are willing to take the good with the not so good and who are each willing to do for themselves what will make them happy.

A Good Read
