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 with one of Asia`s most eligible bachelors on her arm, Rachel might as well have a target on her back. Initiated into a world of dynastic splendour beyond imagination, Rachel meets Astrid, the It Girl of Singapore society; Eddie, whose family practically lives in the pages of the Hong Kong socialite magazines; and Eleanor, Nick`s formidable mother, a woman who has very strong feelings about who her son should--and should not--marry. Uproarious, addictive, and filled with jaw-dropping opulence, Crazy Rich Asians is an insider`s look at the Asian JetSet; a perfect depiction of the clash between old money and new money; between Overseas Chinese and Mainland Chinese; and a fabulous novel about what it means to be young, in love, and gloriously, crazily rich. 0 text unmediated volume lcc BK jpascua 2019-06-18 13:57:23 jderpo 2019-07-03 16:26:05 11194 11103 11103 0 0 ddc 0 0 BED BED BED 2025-12-21 FIC 813.6 SH0439 2026-06-18 00:00:00 2025-12-21 BK
