The accliamed international bestseller soon to be a major motion picture starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh and Gemma Chan. When Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home and time with the man she might one day marry. What she doesn't know is that Nick's family home happens to look like a palace, that she'll ride in more private planes than cars and that she's about to meet the strangest, craziest group of people in existence. Uproarious, addictive, and filled with jaw-dropping opulence, this book is an insider's look at the Asian jet set.

When Nicholas Young hears that his grandmother, Su Yi, is on her deathbed, he rushes to be by her bedside--but he's not alone. It seems the entire Shang-Young clan has convened from all corners of the globe, ostensibly to care for their matriarch but truly to stake claim on the massive fortune that Su Yi controls. With each family member secretly fantasizing about getting the keys to Tyersall Park--a trophy estate on 64 prime acres in the heart of Singapore--the place becomes a hotbed of intrigue and Nicholas finds himself blocked from entering the premises. As relatives claw over heirlooms, Astrid Leong is at the center of her own storm, desperately in love with her old sweetheart Charlie Wu, but tormented by his ex-wife--a woman hell bent on destroying Astrid's reputation and relationship. Meanwhile Kitty Pong, married to billionaire Jack Bing, finds a formidable opponent in his fashionista daughter, Colette. A sweeping novel that takes us from the elegantly appointed mansions of Manila to the secluded private islands in the Sulu Sea, from a schoolyard kidnapping to a gold-leaf dance floor spattered with blood, Kevin Kwan's gloriously wicked new novel reveals the long-buried secrets and rich people problems of Asia's most privileged families.

She can't stand it when he gallantly offers to trade hotel rooms with her so that she can have a view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, she can't stand that he knows more about Casa Malaparte than she does, and she really can't stand it when he kisses her in the darkness of the ancient ruins of a Roman villa and they are caught by her snobbish, disapproving cousin Charlotte.The daughter of an American-born Chinese mother and a blue-blooded New York father, Lucie has always sublimated the Asian side of herself in favor of the white side, and she adamantly denies having feelings for George. But several years later, when George unexpectedly appears in East Hampton, where Lucie is weekending with her new fiance, Lucie finds herself drawn to George again. Soon, Lucie is spinning a web of deceit that involves her family, her fiance, the co-op board of her Fifth Avenue apartment building, and, ultimately, herself as she tries mightily to deny George entry into her worldand her heart.

Divertidísima, adictiva y rebosante de opulencia, esta novela es una mirada indiscreta y bastante loca al mundo de los superricos asiáticos. Cuando la neoyorquina Rachel Chu acepta pasar el verano en Singapur con su novio, Nicholas Young, imagina un hogar familiar humilde y tiempo a solas con el hombre con el que espera casarse. Pero Nick ha olvidado facilitar ciertos detalles a su novia. En primer lugar, que la casa en la que crecio parece un palacio; segundo, que esta mas acostumbrado a viajar en aviones privados que en coche; tercero, que, aparentemente, es el hombre soltero mas codiciado del pais. Y, tan pronto como aterriza de su brazo, Rachel se da cuenta de que en ese mundo de riqueza inimaginable sus vacaciones acaban de convertirse en una delirante carrera de obstaculos.
