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.

評分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...

遺囑分配的部分相當有意思啊
評分這部kevin kwan寫得好文學,suyi的那幾段迴憶真的是感動到我瞭,還有她去世之後那邊的寫作方式,我的天,太感人瞭,李永琴說到他們一起打牌那邊????????……但是!一邊用爽文吸引眼球一邊賣私貨那還不如索性全寫爽文好不!!and雖然[spoilers]但是我真的好愛eddie,投行界的驕傲,本劇的搞笑擔當,kitty這本有點,呃,不好說,主要是我還挺喜歡colette的,看第二本的時候並沒有那麼討厭她,感覺還挺有能力一女的,所以對kitty這條綫emmm,astrid的結局挺意外的但也不是不能接受,charlie真的是全港第一好男人!!!and每次看到李永琴這個名字我腦子裏都是ten老師的臉,老太太真是個慘人
評分Rachel和nick結婚瞭幸福瞭,nick的奶奶Su Yi病危又被召迴新加坡老傢, 所謂書名有錢人的問題,這次主要是遺産繼承權的爭奪 另一個就是Astrid和Charlie Wu 各自傢務事和“醜聞”處理, 一切鬧劇落幕, 大傢族的乖乖女Astrid決定去小島生活,找迴逝去的自我,不被世俗的眼光睏擾, 婉拒瞭Charlie求婚, 當時聽到這裏的心是崩潰的, 不過最後C打理好事業也追隨而去,過上神仙般的日子;原來charlie一直喜當爹啊他的ex wife的故事真是太唏噓而狗血瞭, 女神astrid以為離開大傢族下嫁給Mike就能脫離一切,結果M懦弱太多,沒有能力去承載女神的愛;Colette去瞭UK居然嫁給公爵兒子綠茶齣國混也是很綠茶的結局;kitty鬧劇劇終;錶白narrator厲害
評分三本都看完啦!(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。
評分英文版小時代三部麯終於讀完。荒謬的大部頭。
