Four different women. One common shoe size. And a shared lust for fabulous footwear.
"Shoe Addicts Anonymous - Are you like me? Love shoes but can't keep buying them? If you wear a size 7 1/2 medium and are intersted in swapping your Manolos for Maglis, etc., Tuesday nights in the Bethesda area, e-mail [email protected] or call 301-555-5801. Maybe we can help each other."
Helene Zaharis's politician husband keeps her on a tight leash and cancels her credit cards as a way of controlling her. Lorna Rafferti is up to her eyeballs in debt and can't stop her addiction to eBay. Sandra Vanderslice, battling agoraphobia, pays her shoe bils by working as a phone-sex operator. And Jocelyn Bowen is a nanny for the family from hell (who barely knows a sole from a heel but who will do anything to get out of the house).
On Tuesday nights, these women meet to trade shoes and, in the process, form friendships that will help them each triumph over their problems - from secret pasts to blackmail, bancruptcy, and dating. Funny, emotional, and powerful, "Shoe Addicts Anonymous" is the perfect read for any woman who has ever struggled to find the perfect fit.
When I read the German title ("Schuhtick"), I thought this would be the perfect gift for my friend in Wales who loves shoes. Luckily it was originally published in English, so I found the English title (even better!) and ....
off it goes to a very special person (whom I told about bookcrossing this summer, so I hope she won't be offended to receive a BC-labelled book as a pressie!)
Enjoy it and have a very merry Christmas!
