“Nowhere in the world will you find such rich people as the Chinese,” wrote the medieval Arab traveler Ibn Battuta; Kevin Kwan used this phrase as an epigraph to his international bestseller.
So, meet Rachel Chu; She is a Chinese American, a young professor of economics at New York University and a game theorist. One day, her boyfriend Nick, also a university teacher, originally from Singapore, invites her to spend the summer in Asia — to accompany him on a trip to the wedding of his best friend Colin. Rachel knows almost nothing about his family (like his family — about Rachel), and only on the trip itself finds out that they are insanely rich, and Nick is one of the most enviable Asian suitors …
The film rights to the novel were bought by Nina Jacobson, producer of The Hunger Games, and Crazy Rich Asians (directed by John Chu, starring Constance Wu and Henry Golding) became one of the box office leaders in 2018.
