Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan

Love collides with wealth, family and expectation

Very Good Condition – light cover and edge wear.

When Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she expects a family visit and a wedding—not an introduction to a world of staggering wealth, private estates and fierce social competition. Rachel soon discovers that Nick belongs to one of Asia’s richest families and is among the region’s most sought-after bachelors. His formidable mother disapproves of their relationship, jealous socialites close ranks and generations of family expectations threaten to overwhelm them both. Moving between glamorous parties, outrageous gossip and deeply personal conflict, Kevin Kwan’s sharp, entertaining novel explores class, identity, tradition and the pressures placed on love. Funny, extravagant and observant, Crazy Rich Asians opens a window onto an exclusive society while keeping Rachel’s struggle for dignity and belonging at the heart of the story.
