The iconic author of the bestselling phenomenon Crazy Rich Asians returns with the glittering tale of a young woman who finds herself torn between two men: the WASPY fiancé of her family's dreams and George Zao, the man she is desperately trying to avoid falling in love with.
On her very first morning on the jewel-like island of
Capri, Lucie Churchill sets eyes on George Zao and she instantly can't stand
him. She can't stand it when he gallantly offers to trade hotel rooms with her
so that she can have a view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, she can't stand that he
knows more about Casa Malaparte than she does, and she really can't stand it
when he kisses her in the darkness of the ancient ruins of a Roman villa and
they are caught by her snobbish, disapproving cousin Charlotte. "Your
mother is Chinese so it's no surprise you'd be attracted to someone like him,"
Charlotte teases.
Daughter of an American-born-Chinese mother and
blue-blooded New York father, Lucie has always sublimated the Asian side of
herself in favor of the white side, and she adamantly denies having feelings
for George. But several years later, when George unexpectedly appears in East
Hampton where Lucie is weekending with her new fiancé, Lucie finds herself
drawn to George again. Soon, Lucy is spinning a web of deceit that involves her
family, her fiancé, the co-op board of her Fifth Avenue apartment, and
ultimately herself as she tries mightily to deny George entry into her
world–and her heart.
Moving between summer playgrounds of privilege, peppered
with decadent food and extravagant fashion, Sex and Vanity is a truly modern
love story, a daring homage to A Room with a View, and a brilliantly funny
comedy of manners set between two cultures.
