In Book 1 The Beijing Family, Kara brings Simon Wang to view a mansion for sale in Beverly Hills and they meet Nasreen, a bubbly, high energy and aggressive realtor with a pear shaped figure and a huge flower pinned to her jacket. With Persians representing 20% of the population in Beverly Hills, I developed Nasreen mainly from personal experience in working with many Persian realtors. But Kathy Najimy, the funny and witty Lebanese American actress in the movie, 'Sister Act' comes to mind when I think of Nasreen.
The Beijing Family is a fictional book series about a billionaire family from Beijing making Beverly Hills their new home. It depicts a modern Chinese family adjusting to their new life in the U.S. filled with new friends and life events spiced with intriguing cultural nuances, a historical past that haunt them, modern trends they can't escape and enchanting mythology and folklore. The characters occasionally speak Mandarin too - Aiyahh!
