Product Description

Product Description
Isabel is a glamorous blonde with a sensational past; Harriet is a bookish single would-be writer who never takes risks – except once. That risk is to answer an advert; Isabel wants to tell her story and only a ghostwriter, constantly on-hand in her luxurious Cape Cod hideaway, will be able to do it for her. The job goes to Harriet, who quickly discovers that living with Isabel is a lesson – in sex-appeal, in secrets and in seizing the moment – she’s needed all her life.

About the Author
Elinor Lipman's previous novels include THEN SHE FOUND ME, ISABEL'S BED and THE INN AT LAKE DEVINE. Four of her novels are currently in development as feature films. She divides her time between Northampton, Massachusetts and New York City

4.0 out of 5 stars A good holiday read., 24 Mar 2007
By Scarpetta (Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews
I disagree with the previous review. I found the book very readable and thoroughly enjoyed the characters, to the point that am I currently re-reading it! The characters are detailed and well written, and the plot line is a twist on the 'normal' female based books.
Whilst you can see the ending coming, the method in which Elinor gets you there makes a refreshing change.
The book is a great holiday read, when you are sitting by a pool with a cold glass of something soaking up the rays.

2.0 out of 5 stars isabel's bed who care's, 24 Feb 2007
By C. Lynds (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Thought this book had a good look to it and the back didn't really read that bad either.............................I was so wrong!!!! Tried really hard to finish this book but couldn't. The story line was dull and very slow and seemed to be going nowhere, by the middle of the book you would have thought that something would have got the reader gripped but nothing: the story seemed to be going nowhere. I wanted to know more about the people in the book but there was no structure or story to enable the reader to do this.

I wouldn't pass this book on to any of my friends to be honest it will more than likely go in the bin. I am very disappointed and tried really hard to overcome the boardom that this book provided!!!
