內容簡介

在即將滿27歲那年Jazzy和三位好友一起訂了一個計畫,在這一年結束之前,四個人都要找到一個有錢的外籍老公、準備迎接可愛的混血寶寶,兩者都代表了至高無上的地位。魅力十足、拜金虛榮的Jazzy告訴自己,我才不會輸呢!

 

但在追著白人老公候選人跑的時候,這個拜金的Jazzy卻意外在外表看起來光鮮亮麗的新加坡夜店、忙碌的街道之中,看見了性別爭議和社會階層間的摩擦。Jazzy仔細想了想,這些問題不容忽視,因為怎樣都不能讓這樣的不一致影響到自己的目標。

 

Jazzy和好友們會達成他們的目標嗎?Jazzy可以靠著她的聰慧狡猾和美麗的外表,一路爬到亞洲的中心、晉升上流社會嗎?


Just before her twenty-seventh birthday, Jazzy hatches a plan. Before the year is out, she and her best girlfriends will all have spectacular weddings to rich ang moh - Western expat - husbands, with Chanel babies to follow.

As Jazzy - razor-sharp and vulgar, yet vulnerable - fervently pursues her quest to find a white husband, the contentious gender politics and class tensions thrumming beneath the shiny exterior of Singapore's glamorous nightclubs are revealed. Desperate to move up in Asia's financial and international capital, will Jazzy and her friends succeed?

Vividly told in Singlish - colourful Singaporean English with its distinctive cadence and slang - Sarong Party Girls brilliantly captures the unique voice of a young, striving woman caught between worlds. With remarkable vibrancy and empathy, Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan brings not only Jazzy, but her city of Singapore, to dazzling, dizzying life.
