Valley Of The Dolls
(Author) Jacqueline SusannGiving a party was not as simple as going to one. You could always leave someone else's party. You were stuck with your own. Dolls - red or black; capsules or tablets; washed down with vodka or swallowed straight. For Anne, Neely and Jennifer, it doesn't matter, as long as the pill bottle is within easy reach. These three starlets become best friends when they are young and in New York, struggling to make their names in the entertainment industry. Only when they reach the peak of their careers do they find there's nowhere left to go but down - to the valley of the dolls. A record-breaking bestseller and an instant sensation, this is a salaciously subversive cult classic about the dark heart of fame. 'Like reading a very, very long, absolutely delicious gossip column. Magnetic' Nora Ephron 'Unputdownable' Candace Bushnell 'A cult classic' Elle 'A pop-culture touchstone: a gleefully salacious story of friendship, sex, backstabbing and pills' New York Times
