About This Book
From Publishers Weekly
Though Bushnell's fourth book opens in familiar Sex and the City
territory - a fashion show in Bryant Park where attendees sport Jimmy
Choo and Baume & Mercier?the novel quickly takes off for deeper waters.
For once, men - how to get them, how to keep them - aren't Bushnell's
central focus, and her three main characters, all women in their early
40s, are surely her richest to date. Two of the three are married with
children; all are at the top of their field. Wendy, a movie executive at
the Miramax-like Parador, struggles to finish a potentially
Oscar-winning flick while placating her unemployed hubby at home. Nico,
editor-in-chief at Bonfire magazine, juggles the Machiavellian politics
of her corporate parent-company with the needs of her naif boy-toy lover
and her savvy Columbia professor husband. And while fashion designer
Victory Ford may date a Mr. Big-like character, she takes the
relationship lightly. Most of her energies are directed to saving her
business, which has fallen on hard times since she launched a new, more
innovative line. Bushnell herself won't face the same problem. There's
plenty of the old razzle-dazzle to satisfy her fans. Her characters
lunch at Michael's, go on dates to the Whitney Biennial and shop for
ponies at the Palm Beach Polo Club. There's a make-out session in a bar
bathroom, panty ripping on a kitchen countertop and many frank
descriptions of urban sexual mores. But Bushnell's emphasis on female
friendship and career ambition may also win her a legion of new readers.
Her characters want "the sweet, creamy sensation of power," and it's
Bushnell's account of how they got it, and how they keep it, that will
really keep readers turning pages.
