Beautiful Bodies (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

From the celebrated memoirist comes a hilarious and insightful new novel -- a comedy of manners featuring six thirty something women navigating the perilous currents of single life in New York City.

Laura Shaine Cunningham writes the kind of books that come along all too infrequently: the kind "you buy multiple copies of to send to your mother and friends" (People); the kind you finish reading only to "find yourself sitting very quietly, mulling over the marvels" (Anne Tyler). Now, with her eagerly anticipated new novel, Cunningham -- earns a place as one of contemporary fiction's most accomplished and inventive authors.

Beautiful Bodies invites you to a party. Six "best friends" gather in Jessie Gerard's downtown loft on the coldest night of the year, as the "storm of the century" is about to descend on Manhattan. A bottle of Aussie Red is passed hand to hand while each woman, almost against her own will, offers up her most private dreams and disappointments. Over the course of this eventful evening, the women talk as if their lives depended on it...and maybe they do. Comic mishaps, startling revelations, the sensuous pleasures of confidences shared and love pursued and sometimes rewarded...all compose the world of Beautiful Bodies -- a world both instantly recognizable and enormously entertaining.
