THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER



Ocean Vuong returns with an achingly beautiful novel about chosen family, unexpected friendship, and the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive




One summer evening in the town of East Gladness, Connecticut, nineteen-year-old Hai stands on a bridge, ready to jump, when he hears someone shout across the river. The voice belongs to Grazina, an elderly widow succumbing to dementia. Over the course of the year, the unlikely pair develops a life-altering bond.



The Emperor of Gladness shows the profound ways in which our lives are changed by the most unexpected of people. When Hai takes a job at a diner to support himself and Grazina, his fellow workers become the family he didn't expect to find. United by desperation and circumstance, and existing on the fringes of society, together they bear witness to each other's survival.



'Some of the most beautiful writing I've experienced in my lifetime' OPRAH WINFREY



'Perfectly tuned... May well be the first millennial Great American Novel' ArtReview




'A fine-grained social panorama driven by the developing camaraderie of an ensemble cast bonded in precariousness and pain' Observer




'His most vivid, ambitious work yet' Dazed




'A poetic, dramatic and vivid story. It has an epic sweep but it also handles intimacy and love with delicacy and deep originality'

Nice umbrella stand
This stand is sturdy enough for my 9 ft umbrella. I only used water to fill it so it can be moved if necessary. The umbrella is taken down if it gets too windy as it would be damaged. This would not be the fault of the stand, just the nature of living near the coast.

The umbrella stand works .
The umbrella stand when filled with water is not as study as I like.

Umbrella base
This umbrella base comes with a hole in it, in order for you to put sand in / water. You could get water in it a lot easier than you could sand. There's a tiny hole and the sand does not go very well down that hole. I've had a hard time trying to get the sand in. It is round in shape which makes it easier in the wind to tip over. But all in all for the price it was okay.

Great weight
Very easy to put together and fill with water. Strong winds today and so far so good without a table to support it. If I need to I can add sand later. I wish I had one of these years ago

Perfec
Nice I used this as a replacement to something else I had: the other thing was too bulky so this was a perfect fit under the table gives more room
