Sex and Vanity - Kevin Kwan - książka

Opis

When Lucie Tang Churchill first encounters George Zao during a luxurious wedding on the picturesque island of Capri, she finds him utterly insufferable. She is irritated by his chivalrous gesture of offering to switch hotel rooms with her for a better view of the sea, by his extensive knowledge about the island, and most irritatingly, by the unexpected kiss they share amidst the shadows of ancient ruins. Lucie worries about the reaction of her prestigious Wall Street family, descendants of Mayflower voyagers, to someone like George. Yet, their paths cross again years later in East Hampton, where Lucie is spending a weekend with her fiancé. George's sudden reappearance forces Lucie to confront her emotions and choose between adherence to her head or the desires of her heart. Inspired by 'A Room with a View', 'Sex and Vanity' is a dazzling narrative that intertwines a contemporary love story with a sharp, humorous exploration of cultural contrasts.
