Just as Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice gave us insight intothe English class system of theRegency era, Kevin Kwanuses biting socialcommentary to illuminate thelives of Asia's modern-daywealthy elite. Except he's 10 times funnier than Austen. ― Herald Sun His novels are the equivalent of a Bubble Tea concoction laced with Henry James extracts and Jackie Collins sprinkles - tracking a level of wealth that makes even Downton Abbey look more like Downton Arriviste. ― The Daily Beast To be let loose into the decadent playground of the filthy rich offers the reader a heady taste of vicarious escapism. Yet to dismiss this book as merely a soulless lark would be a disservice to Kwan and his impeccable writing. ― Sunday Age Deliciously fun... Comic satire at its best. ― Who Weekly His novels are comedies of bad manners; a Far-Eastern mash-up of Trollope, Austen and Gossip Girl. ― Financial Review High jinks, high living and hilarity ― Sydney Morning Herald A wickedly funny novel of social climbing, secret emails, art-world scandal and lovesick billionaires from the internationally bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians.
