Written by Candice Bushnell - Performed by Mira Sorvino - Abridged Fiction - COMPACT DISCS - 6 hours Publisher, Hyperion Audiobooks (August 2005) Comments about the hardcover edition: "Bushnell proves she’s still the philosopher queen of a social scene." --New York Times Book Review "An au courant novel of many manners -- and Manolos... [Janey is] Scarlett O’Hara without the plantation." --Entertainment Weekly "Status seeking and sexual one-upmanship are the order of the day." --New York Post "A summer read that offers up sex, scandal, excess in the Hamptons...She keeps the pages turning." --USA Today "This tale of Janey Wilcox, underwear model and bred in the bone New York girl, is vintage Bushnell." --Harper’s Bazaar "Bushnell has her milieu down cold." --New York Times Book Review With a brilliant comic voice as well as Jane Austen's penchant for social satire, Candace Bushnell, who with Sex and the City changed forever how we view New York City, female friendships, and the love of a good pair of Manolos, now brings us a sharply observant, keenly funny, wildly entertaining latter day comedy of manners. Modern-day heroine Janey Wilcox is a lingerie model whose reach often exceeds her grasp, and whose new-found success has gone to her head. As we follow Janey's adventures, Bushnell draws us into a seemingly glamorous world of $100,000 cars, hunky polo players and media moguls, Fifth Avenue apartments, and relationships whose hidden agendas are detectable only by the socially astute. But just as Janey enters this world of too much money and too few morals, unseen forces conspire to bring her down, forcing her to reexamine her values about love and friendship -- and how far she's really willing to go to realize her dreams. |
