简介:
Millions of readers have come to adore New York Timesbest-selling author Sophie Kinsella's irrepressible heroine. MeetBecky Bloomwood, America's favorite shopaholic - a young woman witha big heart, big dreams...and just one little weakness. Becky has afabulous flat in London's trendiest neighborhood, a troupe ofglamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with theseason's must-haves. The only trouble is that she can't actuallyafford it-not any of it. Her job writing at "Successful Savings"not only bores her to tears, it doesn't pay much at all. And latelyBecky's been chased by dismal letters from the bank -letters withlarge red sums she can't bear to read-and they're getting everharder to ignore. She tries cutting back. But none of her effortssucceeds. Becky's only consolation is to buy herself something ...just a little something.... Finally a story arises that Beckyactually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chainof events that will transform her life-and the lives of thosearound her-forever. Sophie Kinsella has brilliantly tapped into ourcollective consumer conscience to deliver a novel of our times-anda heroine who grows stronger every time she weakens. Becky'shilarious schemes to pay back her debts are as endearing as theyare desperate. Her "confessions" are the perfect pick-me-up whenlife is hanging in the (bank) balance.
