text:  Coming up, World Book Club with me, Harriet Gilbert. And this month, we're talking with Kevin Kwan about his internationally best-selling novel, Crazy Rich Asians. Chinese-American Rachel Chu lives a modest life in New York with boyfriend Nick. But when he invites her home to Singapore to meet his family, everything changes. Saturated with wildly wealthy and deliciously dysfunctional super elites, this rom-com makes perfect escapist reading. World Book Club with Kevin Kwan after the news.
