Contemporary Chick Lit
When obsessed pet owners have pooches or kitties they want
immortalized on canvas, Kate Disney is the artist of
choice. From her shed (which doubles as a studio and
apartment) in London's Primrose Hill, Kate caters to the
whims of the rich and famous while herself living a
decidedly bohemian existence. The problem is, she has a
tendency to cater to her on-again, way-off-again boyfriend
as well. Jake is so erratic, that most of her friends
don't
understand why she even bothers. But it's hard to fall out
of love with a man who writes her songs and calls her
Angel—
even if he disappears for weeks at a time.
Luckily for Kate, Mirabelle Moncur isn't buying any of
that
claptrap. Mirri was an actress, a legend in her time. Now,
at age sixty, she's given up on fame and men and lives in
Africa, where she raises lion cubs. But her reclusive
nature has done nothing to dull her beauty, mar her
incredible figure, or dampen her outrageous joie de vivre. After sweeping into London to have Kate paint a portrait
of
her favorite cub, Mirri seizes hold of Kate's life—from
the
baggy wardrobe to the hopeless taste in men. Under Mirri's
tutelage, Kate learns to dance on tables with abandon,
drink like a dockworker, and flirt like a goddess. And
when
her old friend Louis reenters the picture, she begins to
see things in a whole new light. But Mirri has secrets
that
hint at a less than divine future. Now it's Kate's turn to
teach Mirri a thing or two about life, love, and being
fabulous.
