      Kevin Kwan, bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians and China Rich Girlfriend, is back with an uproarious new novel featuring a family driven by fortune, an ex-wife driven psychotic with jealousy, a battle royal fought through couture-gown sabotage, and the heir to one of Asia's greatest fortunes locked out of his inheritance. 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. The entire Shang-Young clan has convened from all corners of the globe to stake claim to their matriarch's massive fortune. With each family member vying to inherit Tyersall Park—a trophy estate on sixty-four prime acres in the heart of Singapore—Nicholas' childhood home turns into a hotbed of backbiting and intrigue. As Su Yi's relatives fight over heirlooms, Astrid Leong is at the center of her own storm, desperately in love with her old sweetheart Charlie Wu but tormented by her ex-husband—a man hell-bent on destroying Astrid's reputation and relationship. Meanwhile, Kitty Pong, married to China's second richest man, Jack Bing, still feels upstaged by her new stepdaughter, famous fashionista Colette Bing. In this sweeping tale that takes us from the elegantly appointed mansions of Manila to the secluded private islands in the Sulu Sea, from a kidnapping at Hong Kong's most elite private school to a surprise marriage proposal at an Indian palace that is caught on camera by the telephoto lenses of paparazzi, Kevin Kwan hilariously reveals the long-buried secrets of Asia's most privileged families and their rich people problems.

      The iconic author of Crazy Rich Asians returns with a glittering tale of love and longing as a young woman navigates the clash between her father's WASP family and George Zao, a man she desperately tries to resist. On her first morning on the stunning island of Capri, Lucie Churchill meets George and immediately dislikes him. She is irritated by his gallant offer to switch hotel rooms for a better view, his knowledge of Curzio Malaparte, and especially when he kisses her in the ruins of a Roman villa, only to be caught by her snobbish cousin, Charlotte. Teasingly, Charlotte remarks on Lucie's mixed heritage, highlighting her struggle with her identity as the daughter of an American-born-Chinese mother and a blue-blooded New York father. Lucie has always suppressed her Asian side, adamantly denying any feelings for George. However, years later, when George unexpectedly appears in East Hampton while Lucie is with her new fiancé, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to him again. This leads to a tangled web of deceit involving her family, fiancé, and even her Fifth Avenue co-op board, as she battles to keep George out of her life and heart. Set against a backdrop of privilege, decadent food, and extravagant fashion, this modern love story is a daring homage to A Room with a View and a brilliantly funny comedy of manners exploring two cultures.
