Edge Case: A Novel

"YZ Chin’s excellent debut follows Edwina, a Malaysian woman who does quality assurance for a New York City startup, as she navigates a host of problems. Her work visa is about to expire, her mother keeps trying to get her to move back home, her co-workers won’t stop making sexist “jokes,” and her husband has gone missing. Chin’s novel explores social problems deftly; it’s smart but not showy, emotional but not sentimental. This is a wonderful novel from an author of deep compassion."
