Kevin Kwan is the author of the international bestsellers Crazy Rich Asians, soon to be a major motion picture, and China Rich Girlfriend. Born in Singapore, he has called New York’s West Village home since 1995.
Kevin Kwan, bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians (soon to be a MAJOR MOTION PICTURE starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh and Gemma Chan) and China Rich Girlfriend, is back with an uproarious new novel of a family riven 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 on their matriarch’s massive fortune. With each family member vying to inherit Tyersall Park—a trophy estate on 64 prime acres in the heart of Singapore—Nicholas’s childhood home turns into a hotbed of speculation and sabotage. As her 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, billionaire Jack Bing, still feels second best next to her new step-daughter, famous fashionista Colette Bing. A sweeping novel 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, caught on camera by the telephoto lenses of paparazzi, Kevin Kwan's hilarious, gloriously wicked new novel reveals the long-buried secrets of Asia's most privileged families and their rich people problems.

這本書居然是在德國一個小城市的書店裏找到的,實在是太奇怪瞭。Krefeld 的民眾老齡化,穆斯林移民社區,完全不像是個會看這本書的人。可偏偏在眾多的德語書中小塊的英語書裏,生生挖到瞭這本書。 開篇講到達沃斯論壇,連著去瞭兩年,稍微有點瞭解。對證件顔色和其背後的代錶意...

圖書標籤: 英文 新加坡 KevinKwan 小說 英文原版 CrazyRichAsians 幽默 2017
三本都看完啦!(既然全都看完,那這次我也不講什麼壞話瞭)打發時間挺好的。學到一個很好用的新詞,three-comma club。
評分finally
評分所以Kitty這個沒事找事硬要跟沒見過麵的Colette杠來杠去的作用是什麼...就是為瞭顯示財大氣粗且沒有腦子的中國有錢人是怎麼過日子的嗎?強行推動情節發展也是醉瞭...越寫越爛又臭又長!最後簡直是虎頭蛇尾鬍亂寫一通結瞭個尾...Kevin的書到此結束吧發誓不會再多看一本瞭 :(
評分富人們除瞭掛在嘴邊的數字多瞭那麼幾位以外也是有煩惱的呢! 即使性格稍好的角色也很臉譜化 當肥皂劇看個樂嗬吧 關敬明齣品的新馬泰港小時代 Everything's gorgeous!
評分英文版小時代三部麯終於讀完。荒謬的大部頭。
