Olivia Goldsmith

      Supponiamo che un marito di mezza età decida di avere una relazione con una donna che sembra esattamente sua moglie dieci anni più giovane. Supponiamo che lui non si renda conto della stupefacente somiglianza. E supponiamo che sua moglie scopra tutto e, anziché mettersi in competizione con la rivale, si coalizzi con lei meditando una vendetta diabolica. Questa è la storia di Bob, Marla e Sylvie. E delle tre settimane che le due donne trascorrono in una beautyfarm. Sylvie facendo massaggi, yoga, aerobica e dieta ferrea per ringiovanire di dieci anni, e Marla dormendo, rilassandosi e mangiando chili di pasta per sembrare di dieci anni più matura. Per poi entrare l'una nei panni dell'altra.

      Olivia Goldsmith - bestselling author of The First Wives Club - delivers her best revenge novel to date. The best way to beat the system is from the inside... Meet Jennifer - a smart, sexy woman who has broken through the glass ceiling to become a big-time trader in the world of high finance. When her boss is caught playing fast and loose with the regulations, Jennifer agrees to take the rap. After all, her fiancé is a lawyer with the connections to get her off. Instead, she ends up in a women's prison; a world a whole lot meaner than Wall Street and where her designer clothes and fancy education count for nothing. She has to learn fast if she wants to survive and she does, once she is accepted by the prison's top 'crew'; a group of smart, strong, scary women led by tough lifer Movita and crazy Cher. These are women that Jennifer would never, ever, have befriended on the outside, but on the inside she soon discovers that working together is the only way out...

      From the bestselling author of The First Wives' Club and Young Wives, a sparkling New York comedy about making plans for other people -- and then tripping yourself up in them. There's something magical about Brooklyn's Billy Nolan. It's not just that he's wickedly attractive, it's that any woman he dates and dumps (and he dates and dumps them all) immediately goes on to marry someone else. Sassy, uptown New Yorker Kate is immune to Billy's charms - she left Brooklyn behind a long time ago, and she's not about to fall under the spell of a handsome waster from the old neighbourhood. Besides, she's dating the eminently suitable Michael. But perhaps the 'Billy effect' will work for Kate's friend, Bina, who has fallen apart because her almost-fiance, Jack, is going away to 'explore his singleness'. All Kate has to do is get Billy to date Bina and dump her - and then await Jack's return and watch the magic happen. It's a great plan and at first it seems to be working. But the one thing Kate hasn't considered is how Billy feels about it all...

    • In der Dunkelheit vor der Morgendämmerung schläft Manhattan, eine glitzernde Trauminsel, die ein Ort ist, an dem Träume gewebt, verwirklicht und verworfen werden. In dieser Nacht im Mai Ende der 80er Jahre ist es auch eine Insel mit vielen alleinlebenden Frauen. Anne ist gesund und charmant; Eileen ist elegant und bezaubernd; Barbara ist fröhlich und klug; doch sie alle verabscheuen das Gefühl, im mittleren Alter verlassen zu werden. Daher schließen sie Gewalt aus, nutzen ihren Verstand und schmieden gemeinsam eine Reihe von Racheplänen gegen ihre erfolgreichen Ex-Männer. Diese neue Frauengruppe, bestehend aus drei geschiedenen Frauen, trägt den Namen „Club der Teufelinnen“ und ihr Motto lautet: „Wir sind nicht wütend, wir holen uns Gerechtigkeit.“ Aus ihrer traurigen und hilflosen Verzweiflung erheben sie sich, überdenken ihre Position und die vergangene Ehe sowie den Partner an ihrer Seite, um mit cleveren Gegenangriffen gegen die banalen Realitäten ihrer Ex-Männer zurückzuschlagen und schließlich ihre Würde zurückzugewinnen. Dieses Buch ist ein unverzichtbarer Leitfaden für die neue Frau weltweit und ein unterhaltsames, herzergreifendes Werk.
