In 'My Favourite Wife', Tony Parsons introduces us to Bill Holden, a young and ambitious lawyer, and his wife Becca, who move to Shanghai with their four-year-old daughter. Shanghai, a booming city, offers opportunities and temptations where fortunes are made and foreign marriages fall apart spectacularly. Bill's law firm houses the Holden family in Paradise Mansions, a luxury apartment block full of 'second wives': young and beautiful women. After Becca witnesses a near-tragedy, she returns temporarily to London with Holly, and Bill and JinJin are thrown together. Bill wants to be a better man than the millionaire who keeps JinJin Li as a second wife, better than any man who cheats. Becca is his best friend. But can he give JinJin anything different, can he give her the love she deserves? And can he love his wife, too?
