I've read countless books by and about Asians/Asian-Americans. My favorites are the ones that talk about multi-generations of families - families that travel between and within countries. Usually, the books are about pretty traditional families - Amy Tan, Gail Tsukiyama, and Lisa See are among my favorites. So, imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon this series - about multi-generations of Asian families - and they travel between and within countries. But these are not the stories of poor immigrants fleeing their native lands in poverty, and enduring endless tragedy. These are the wealthy elite who travel by private jet for weekends in Paris to by $100,000 handbags. This series is so fun and fantastic - I can't wait for the movie version to come out. It's almost impossible to describe - but this is the perfect indulgent by-the-pool imagining what you would do if you had all the money in the world and no limits.
