* A cool witty novel about urban sexuality, from the author of SEX AND THE CITY
FOUR BLONDES charts the romantic intrigues, liaisons, betrayals and victories of four modern women: a beautiful B-list model finagles rent-free summerhouses in the Hamptons from her lovers until she discovers she can get a man but can't get what she wants; a high-powered magazine columnist's floundering marriage to a literary journalist is thrown into crisis when her husband's career fails to live up to her expectations; a 'Cinderella' records her descent into paranoia in her journal as she realises she wants anybody's life except her own; an artist and aging 'It girl' - who fears that her time for finding a man has run out - travels to London in search of the kind of love and devotion she can't find in Manhattan. . .
Studded with her trademark wit and stiletto-heel-sharp insight, FOUR BLONDES is dark, true, and compulsively readable.
“Thank God this book is about four separate people- if it were about one, I wouldn't have been able to put it doen at all- stylishly presented in dark and illuminating chunks.”
'Stiletto-sharp wit and dialogue...A compulsive read.' OK MAGAZINE 'Extremely funny, but it's a hard boiled humour with a cruel edge.' OBSERVER 'Bushnell is a fabulous writer who captures her world in hard, glittering prose.' EVE '' IRISH TATLER 'Sassy... Fast moving tales of fast lives.' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING 'It is bleak, it is bitterly funny, it is unputdownable stuff. One of sharpest practitioners of her art around. Bushnell is also a clever and subtle moralist. Here is the post-modern woman taken to the nth degree.' SUNDAY TIMES 'Sharp, witty and sassy.' COSMPOLITAN 'Bushnell cleverly exploits the chasms in relationships.' SUNDAY HERALD
