Advances

by Anita Burgh

Three very different women meet by chance at a glittering London party. Aspiring novelist Kate Howard is shackled to an unfeeling husband. She knows that she wants to write, but is anyone going to give her a chance? Dedicated editor Gloria Catchpole could once have had the pick of every powerful man in publishing. Right now work is the only challenge she can handle. Literary agent Joy Trenchard is devastated when her violent husband kidnaps their daughter. The only way she knows how to fight back is to pull off the deal of the decade. They're ready to make advances. How far will they go?

Love marriage divorce and publishing in a multi pov .That I have read maybe 20 times and have laughed and cried with the caracters. I have owned and loved this book for maybe 22 years every time I re read it I find I relate to different characters in a whole new way first reading it when I was a teenager and and I am sure that as I grew the caracters I loved divulged more to me.
