The first quote is significant to the story because most of the Marriages in this story were not very happy ones and it was kind of an expectation that these men would cheat on their wives, who some of them married just because of social status within their family and money that the family of the spouse possessed. The second quote is as significant as the first one, because it shows that money and social status connections are the most important to the culture of wealthy families in this story not just the Young's, in order to keep the money and success within the family. This can affect who their children are allowed to associate with in life and on a day to day basis.

The story begins in London in 1986, in the Lancaster Hotel, which is very similar to the Davenport Hotel. Then the story fast forwards to 2010 in New York City, in a small cafe with Rachel and Nick sharing a piece of cake while talking about a trip to Singapore. The story now moves to the humid, but extremely beautiful, Singapore and Nick's grandmother's upscale house.
