Sex and Vanity

Sex and Vanity / Kevin Kwan, 315 pgs.

Loved this homage to E. M. Forster's "A Room with a View" where Lucie Churchill falls for George Zao but thinks it is a fluke.  They meet at a wedding in Capri but their relationship ends badly with a snooping drone film.  Fast forward five years when Lucie is engaged to be married when she runs into George again.  Clearly she is attracted to him but she is about to be married! This can't happen.  Of course your heart doesn't always listen to your brain.  Kwan shows us a little slice of a life I won't be able to witness in person - the private lives of the VERY rich ;-)

Don't miss Kevin Kwan's guest spot on the KPL podcast to hear about what comes next for him and get some good reading recommendations.
