New Releases by Kevin Kwan

Lanjutan Crazy Rich Asians (film: 17 Agustus 2018) & China Rich Girlfriend Ketika mendengar bahwa neneknya, Su Yi, sakit keras, Nicholas Young bergegas pulang-namun ia tidak sendirian. Keluarga Shang-Young dari seluruh penjuru dunia ikut berkumpul, seolah akan merawat sang nenek tapi sebetulnya ingin memperebutkan harta melimpah yang dimiliki Su Yi. Sementara keluarga memperebutkan warisan, Astrid Leong berada di pusat badai yang berbeda: ia jatuh cinta pada kekasih lamanya Charle Wu, tapi diganggu mantan istri Charlie, yang bertekad menghancurkan hubungan dan reputasi Astrid. Sementara itu, Kitty Pong, yang menikah dengan miliuner Jack Bing, mendapatkan lawan yang seimbang, yaitu Colette, putri tirinya.

Vilt stor rikdom, ville intriger - en romantisk komedie helt utenom det vanlige. Første bok i en herlig bestselgerserie om privilegerte utenlandskinesere. New York-paret Rachel og Nick er i ferd med å ta forholdet et skritt videre: Hun har sagt ja til å tilbringe sommeren i hans fødeland Singapore, hvor han skal være forlover i bestevennens bryllup. Rachel forventer kvalitetstid med mannen hun elsker og familien hun skal introduseres for i et vanlig, beskjedent barndomshjem. Det er bare noen små detaljer han har unnlatt å fortelle henne. Én: at barndomshjemmet hans ser ut som et palass, to: at han tilfeldigvis er landets mest ettertraktede ungkar. Arm i arm med Nick, er Rachel en skyteskive i det øyeblikket hun går av flyet, og snart er den avslappende ferien blitt til en hinderløype av gamle penger, nye penger, nysgjerrige slektninger og manipulerende konkurrenter.

When Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home, long drives to explore the island, and quality time with the man she might one day marry. 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.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of the international sensation Crazy Rich Asians and China Rich Girlfriend, here is the trilogy’s uproarious conclusion. • “A memorable, laugh-out-loud Asian glitz fest that’s a pure pleasure to read.” —USA Today 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.

Envisioning a summer vacation in the humble Singapore home of a boy she hopes to marry, Chinese American Rachel Chu is unexpectedly introduced to a rich and scheming clan that strongly opposes their son''s relationship with an American girl.

Crazy Rich Asians is the outrageously funny debut novel about three super-rich, pedigreed Chinese families and the gossip, backbiting, and scheming that occurs when the heir to one of the most massive fortunes in Asia brings home his ABC (American-born Chinese) girlfriend to the wedding of the season. When Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home, long drives to explore the island, and quality time with the man she might one day marry. 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 splendor 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.

Filled with everything you need to live a luckier life, Luck: The Essential Guide is here with information, advice, or if you just have to knock on wood.

Cuốn sách lấy bối cảnh 2 năm sau các sự kiện xảy ra ở Crazy Rich Asians và vẫn tiếp tục xoay quanh nhân vật chính là Rachel Chu và Nick Young. Tuy nhiên bối cảnh truyện lần này diễn ra tại Thượng Hải, nơi những người giàu gần như làm chủ tại nơi đây. Tựa đề cuốn sách được bắt nguồn từ câu nói của Elenor, mẹ của Nick khi ví von những người Trung Quốc giàu có là các tỉ phú thực sự. “Đó không phải là những người chỉ giàu có hàng ngày với vài trăm triệu. Họ giàu có theo kiểu Trung Quốc!”
