Often funny, sometimes shocking, sometimes curiously sad, Hollywood Wives is a novel that moves right into the heart of the glittering microcosm that is Beverly Hills. A dying culture in a corrupt society, where rampant sexuality vies with lust for power and money. Hollywood Wives takes the reader on a trip filled with unforgettable characters, and gathers speed as it races towards a compelling and shocking climax.
Jackie Collins recreates this strange world with wit and crowds it with people who may sometimes seem like monsters yet are never less than humans. Hollywood Wives is above all an enthralling story told by a master storyteller.
