About This Item
New York: Doubleday, 2020. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. First edition (stated) / first printing. Signed on the second front blank by Kwan. Fine in fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 315 pp. From the author of "Crazy Rich Asians", ".. a glittering tale of love and longing as a young woman finds herself torn between two worlds..." On her first morning on the Isle of Capri, Chinese-American Lucie Churchill sets eyes on George Zao and she can't stand him. This gradually changes and for the remainer of her trip, she vehemently denies having feelings for George. Years later, he appears in East Hampton and despite the fact that she has a finance, she is drawn to him and soon she is spinning a web of deceit with her family, the fiance, her Fifth Avenue co-op board and untimately herself as she tries mightily to deny George entry into her world. The novel has been called a daring homage to "A Room With A View" and a brilliantly funny comedy of manners set between two cultures.
