China Rich Girlfriend

Rachel Chu's wedding plans are complicated by news about her birth father, and the second Crazy Rich Asians novel moves the action to Shanghai. China Rich Girlfriend follows Kevin Kwan's cast into a circle of wealth that makes the first book's Singapore families look restrained. Rachel and Nicholas Young, Astrid and a widening group of relatives navigate new money, inherited expectation and the social rules governing both. Kwan keeps the satire broad and the detail precise, using couture, property and food as a running commentary on status, while questions of family loyalty and identity give the comedy its weight. What lies inside: • Volume two of Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians trilogy • A Shanghai setting built on new wealth and old family obligation • Satirical comedy of manners with a large returning cast • Reads well in sequence or as a continuation for series followers For readers of contemporary comic fiction and book club groups. Published by Allen & Unwin and available at Boipoka.
