“Nowhere in the world will you find such rich people as the Chinese,” wrote the medieval Arab traveler Ibn Battuta; Kevin Kwan used this phrase as the epigraph to his international bestseller. So, meet Rachel Chu; She is Chinese-American, a young professor of economics at New York University, and a game theorist. One day, her boyfriend Nick, also a university teacher, originally from Singapore, invites her to spend the summer in Asia - to accompany him on a trip to the wedding of his best friend Colin. Rachel knows almost nothing about his family (just like his family knows about Rachel), and only on the trip itself does she find out that they are insanely rich, and Nick is one of the most eligible Asian bachelors... The rights to film the novel were bought by Nina Jacobson - producer " The Hunger Games,” and the film “Crazy Rich Asians” (directed by Jon Chu, starring Constance Wu and Henry Golding) became one of the leaders at the box office in 2018, and sequels are already being filmed.
