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 realizes 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. |

To everyone who's anyone in New York City Victory Ford, Wendy Healy and Nico O'Neilly are the beautiful face of success in the city. Victory is the hottest new designer on the block, Wendy is President of Parador Pictures with a sure-fire hit in production and Nico is the editor of Bonfire magazine. The trouble is, from where Victory, Nico and Wendy are standing things don't look quite that way. Nico is fitting in guilty extra-marital sex with an underwear model. Victory's last collection bombed and Wendy's twelve-year marriage to her metrosexual househusband is in freefall. Candace Bushnell's new heroines are irresistible, and as she follows them through the minefield of work, love and life at the top she gives us a hugely entertaining lesson on how to stay ahead in the toughest town on the planet. |

One Fifth Avenue, the Art Deco beauty towering over Manhattan’s hippest neighbourhood, is a one-of-a-kind address, the sort of building you have to earn your way into — one way or another. For the women in Candace Bushnell’s stellar new novel, One Fifth Avenue is at the heart of the lives they’ve carefully established, or hope to establish. There is Schiffer Diamond, a forty-something actress busily proving that women of style are truly ageless. There is spoiled, self-assured Lola, who is determined to launch herself into society and the arms of the right man by clawing a way into the building. Annalisa is the wife of a hedge fund manager and reluctant socialite, while bitter Mindy is married to an under-published writer and has been the family breadwinner for too long. And then there is Enid, the glamorous grande dame and gossip columnist, who has lived at One Fifth Avenue for decades, and sees everything there is to see from her penthouse view... |

«Now in paperback from the brilliant author of «Sex and the City» — a sharply observant, keenly funny, wildly entertaining latter-day comedy of manners centered on modern-day heroine Janey Wilcox, a lingerie model whose reach often exceeds her grasp.» |

One Fifth Avenue is The Building--the chicest, the hottest, the best pedigreed, with all the most interesting people. It's the One to Get Into. Within its pre-war walls the lives of New York City's cultural elite play out: from an over-40 actress whose comeback proves that women of style are truly ageless, to the spoiled and confident recent college grad whose mother expects to find the right man to launch her daughter into high society, to the grande-dame gossip columnist who's seen it all. As in her previous books, Candace Bushnell turns her eagle eye on the social and sexual politics of New Yorkers in an era when any kind of fame is like hard currency, and you are where you live. |
