内容介绍
法国观点报Le Point:
“这个超级有钱人的‘幕后’概念太精彩,太吸引人了。。。我们已经可以想象出电影画面了,这真是天才:像是《浮华世界》(Vanity Fair)遇上《游戏规则》(Rules of the Game)。你一定会笑,一定会猜测里面的角色在暗射谁,也一定学到很多有用的东西。”
 
想知道法国上流社会是怎么度过他们的暑假吗?这本超级好笑的新书会一个细节都不放过地跟你透漏所有秘辛!
 
罗瑞和玛丽是一对富裕的姐妹,她们从小时候每一个暑假都在她们家族专门用来避暑的庄园L’Agapanthe度过。这个地方已经成为了她们无可取代的生活方式。在这里,她们的父母每年会邀请一些社会尖端的贵宾,一起享受有着充满佣人,厨师以及司机的奢侈人生。没想到,今年她们父母宣布希望售出L’Agapanthe,让姐妹俩无法置信。于是,她们想出唯一的办法就是。。。钓到金龟婿,买下豪宅!
 
L’Agapanthe是典型的庄园,优雅又传统,是个念旧的地方。在这里,每个人都需要彬彬有礼,虽然不是所有的宾客都能够遵循。在这篇长篇喜剧里,读者能够见识到法国上流社会的各个角色:股票经理人,时尚设计师,超级模特儿,明星,黑道,骗子等等。
 
希望多了解法国上流社会的行为守则,举止以及道德观念,必读这本幽默的小说!
