Første bok i herlig bestselgerserie om privilegerte utenlandskinesere.New York-paret Rachel og Nick er i ferd med å ta forholdet et skritt videre: Hun har sagt ja til å tilbringe sommeren i hans fødeland Singapore, hvor han skal være forlover i bestevennens bryllup. Rachel forventer kvalitetstid med mannen hun elsker og familien hun skal introduseres for i et vanlig, beskjedent barndomshjem. Det er bare noen små detaljer han har unnlatt å fortelle henne. Én: at barndomshjemmet hans ser ut som et palass, to: at han tilfeldigvis er landets mest ettertraktede ungkar.
