The celebrated author of the bestselling Crazy Rich Asians returns with the first novel in the new Cities Trilogy, available in July.
Sex and Vanity is a glittering tale of love and longing, as a young woman finds herself torn between two worlds: the Wasp (white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant) establishment of her father's family and George Zao, a man she is desperately trying to avoid falling in love with.
International superstar author Kevin Kwan has been named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine, as well as one of the most powerful people in Hollywood.
