her world is taking on the bittersweet tones of a life-change comedy
from the 1970s, something starring Glenda Jackson or Jill Clayburgh.
The director of a Greenwich Village revival house cinema and a single
woman who has watched everyone else move on, Diane is reminded daily of
her status and her limitations. Clearly there is some lesson she was
supped to lave learned by now, but what it is continues to elude her. Vladimir Hurtado Padrón has troubles of his own. Although he fled Cuba a decade earlier, he still can’t convince his estranged wife in Havana to grant him a divorce. When Diane meets and falls for Vladimir, he is up front about the stalemate in his personal life, letting her make her own decisions. Diane considers the minor role he has to offer and wonders: Would Ingrid Bergman put up with this? An eviction notice jolts Diane out of her home and her routine—aren’t all New York stories ultimately about real estate? Diane shuttles between the couches of friends and family, dodging advice and criticism in equal measure and touring countless fatally flawed Manhattan apartments. Meanwhile, Vladimir refuses to succumb to nostalgia as he deals with the exile’s dilemma: What happens when you can’t go home? Then an unexpected visitor from Vladimir’s past arrives on the scene and becomes captivated by Diane just as her ardor for Vladimir is cooling. Diane considers returning his affections, and wonders if she’s lost her mind. RR@H's Novel Thoughts

THE IMMACULATE COMPLEXION 5/2007 ISBN: 0843958561 In a world of Park Avenue princesses and Botox babes, Marnie Mann stands out like last year's lip color. If one more person at her new job for LeVigne Cosmetics suggests a laser treatment for her age spots (hello—they're freckles!) or an injection for her furrowed brow (does no one in this office think?), she's going to scream. But even her organic-loving self can't resist the seductive pull of working in the big-name beauty biz. That pull drags her into a high-concept product launch gone spectacularly awry, tainted samples, and a murder by makeup in which every manicured finger points straight to her. It's going to take a lot more than wrinkle cream to smooth out this mess. RR@H's Novel Thoughts
