Longlisted for the 2013 Man Booker Prize, the overlapping lives of
five newcomers to China's most dynamic city are the subject of this
kaleidoscopic novel. Welcome to Shanghai. A restless metropolis
where old traditions collide with new ambitions - a place where
anything can happen and anyone can become Somebody. Golddigger,
property magnate, pop star, entrepreneur and guru: five newcomers
are lured by the promise of making fortunes and remaking
identities. But they find their lives converging in unpredictable
ways, as the Five Star Billionaire's lessons for success wreak
havoc. For in a land where dreams may come true, nothing is ever
quite as it seems...
