Don’t miss the chance to catch author and creator of the bestselling phenomenon that is Crazy Rich Asians, Kevin Kwan discuss his latest novel, Sex and Vanity, with Tatler’s Generation T editor, Lee Williamson. Moving between Capri and the Hamptons, Lucie Churchill finds herself torn between two men: the WASPY fiancé of her family’s dreams and George Zao, the man she is desperately trying to avoid falling in love with. This glittering tale is both a homage to A Room with a View and a modern love story and, as it is written by Kevin Kwan, it is also a brilliantly funny comedy of manners set between two cultures. Kevin Kwan will join virtually.
