Description
A chance encounter with a charismatic tycoon pulls an ordinary life into the orbit of wealth, ambition, and moral compromise in this fast-moving novel. As relationships deepen and loyalties are tested, the story follows how power can reshape identity—offering escape, opportunity, and danger in equal measure. With sharp social observation and a distinctly human focus, it explores themes of class, desire, and the cost of chasing status in a world where money speaks louder than promises. Written in Tash Aw’s engaging, contemporary style, the book blends momentum with introspection, delivering a compelling look at what it means to want more—and what it takes to get it.
