Description
At a lavish wedding on the Italian island of Capri, privileged young American Lucie Churchill encounters George Zao, a man who unsettles her carefully controlled world—and awakens feelings she would rather deny. Years later, their paths cross again in New York, forcing Lucie to confront the secrets, prejudices, and social expectations that have shaped her life. Moving between glittering international settings, the novel explores family, class, cultural identity, and the complicated pull between desire and respectability. With his signature wit, opulent detail, and sharp eye for the rituals of wealth, Kevin Kwan delivers a sparkling romantic comedy about breaking free from other people’s definitions.
