Olivia Goldsmith

    1 janvier 1949 – 15 janvier 2004

    Les romans d'Olivia Goldsmith explorent souvent des thèmes de fantasmes de vengeance, dépeignant des femmes qui finissent par triompher des mauvais traitements infligés par les hommes. Son écriture aborde fréquemment l'autonomisation des femmes et la rétribution en réponse à l'injustice. Au-delà de sa fiction pour adultes, elle a également écrit des livres pour enfants sous un autre nom. Le travail de Goldsmith est reconnu pour son approche audacieuse et souvent controversée des relations et de la position sociale des femmes.

      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...
