About this audiobook

Kevin Kwan, bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians and China Rich Girlfriend, is back with an uproarious new novel of a family riven by fortune, an ex-wife driven psychotic with jealousy, a battle royal fought through couture gown sabotage, and the heir to one of Asia's greatest fortunes locked out of his inheritance.

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.

    Kevin Kwan is an amazing writer. Too many things about this story are so right. The intricacies of Chinese culture and history are amazing. I totally see China, Singapore, Malaysia in a whole new light.

    The best thing about this audiobook is that it’s an audiobook. I heard the Chinese names, phrases, Singaporean dishes correctly pronounced. The narrators bring to life the emotions, exclamations, differences in accents. Kudos to the narrators.

    This is my first audio and now I want to start over; the entire trilogy in audio.

    The author deftly painted a luscious, decadent and exotic southeast Asia as the backdrop to the story.

    First book I’ve read by this author and it was struggle to get through this. It was hard to like any of the characters and no way to relate to them...maybe the story would have worked better without all the money.
