Divertidisima, adictiva y rebosante de opulencia, esta novela es una mirada indiscreta y bastante loca al mundo de los superricos asiaticos.
Cuando la neoyorquina Rachel Chu acepta pasar el verano en Singapur con su novio, Nicholas Young, imagina un hogar familiar humilde y tiempo a solas con el hombre con el que espera casarse. Pero Nick ha olvidado facilitar ciertos detalles a su novia. En primer lugar, que la casa en la que crecio parece un palacio; segundo, que esta mas acostumbrado a viajar en aviones privados que en coche; tercero, que, aparentemente, es el hombre soltero mas codiciado del pais.
Y, tan pronto como aterriza de su brazo, Rachel se da cuenta de que en ese mundo de riqueza inimaginable sus vacaciones acaban de convertirse en una delirante carrera de obstaculos.
"Una arrebatadora comedia para adictos a las compras... Perversamente deliciosa." The New York Times.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The acclaimed international bestseller ("A dizzily shopaholic comedy." --The New York Times) soon to be a MAJOR MOTION PICTURE starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh and Gemma Chan!
When New Yorker Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home and quality time with the man she hopes to marry. But Nick has failed to give his girlfriend a few key details. One, that his childhood home looks like a palace; two, that he grew up riding in more private planes than cars; and three, that he just happens to be the country's most eligible bachelor.
On Nick's arm, Rachel may as well have a target on her back the second she steps off the plane, and soon, her relaxed vacation turns into an obstacle course of old money, new money, nosy relatives, and scheming social climbers.
