How do we live so that we are satisfied? How can people connect during moments of loneliness? This is the story of Joan Liang, a woman who moves across the world to America, and in trying to answer these questions builds a wildly original life.
Joan’s life is a series of unexpected events: she never thought she would live in California, nor did she expect her first marriage to implode—especially as quickly and spectacularly as it did. She definitely did not expect to fall in love with an older, wealthy American man and become his fourth wife and mother to his youngest children.
Joan and her children grow older, and one day she makes a drastic change: she opens the Satisfaction Café, a place where customers can find connection through conversation. With humor and grace, Joan creates a space for meaningful relationships and constructs a lasting legacy.
Vivid, comic, and profoundly moving, The Satisfaction Café is a novel about found family,the joy and loneliness that come with age, andhow we can seek satisfaction at any stage oflife. This is a novel of tremendous pleasures:sentences that teem with rich observations,wonderful plotting, and, in Joan, a protagonistfor the ages.

Kritikerstimmen
"Narrator Katharine Chin’s quiet steadiness mirrors Joan Liang’s resilience as her life takes increasingly unexpected turns that include, immigration, divorce, remarriage, and eventually entrepreneurship. This is the story of a woman who is constantly in search of fulfillment. Chin's pacing allows listeners space for reflection while keeping them engaged throughout the novel’s moments of humor, tenderness, and quiet transformation. Particularly moving are the scenes at a café, in which Chin conveys the vulnerability and connections among strangers with warmth and restraint. Chin’s narration strikes a balance between vivid storytelling and emotional subtlety, enhancing this novel’s themes of reinvention and chosen family."
