Fast Forward

by Clare Dowling

Cathy Conroy – five years ago her
acting career looked hot. Now she’s
selling cabbages to pay the rent.
Is it curtains for her Oscar ambitions?

Jean Ormsby – a struggling theatrical agent. Well, sinking actually. Even her secretary has quit.

Peter and Tess Fisher – the Minister for Arts and his successful wife. He’s got a rebellious daughter and a political crisis on his hands. She’s got a string of store credit cards and a husband with a wandering eye.

Waiting in the wings are the Government spin-doctors, who scheme to bring a film to rural Ireland in a publicity stunt to win a crucial by-election. The stage is set for career breaks and media wars – and a secret love affair which blows the lot sky high.

Reviews

[Linda Sirsniņa · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ātri lasāms dižpārdoklis, viegla rakstura literatūra, taču ar spilgtiem politiskās ikdienas aprakstiem, kas šķiet tuvi patiesībai un īpaši aktuāli šajā pirmsvēlēšanu laikā, kas, šķiet, nu jau Latvijā ir sācies!
Grāmata politiķu sievām ;)
