Synopsis
Normal0falsefalsefalseEN-USX-NONEX-NONEMicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Carter Ratcliff's Tequila Mockingbird is a sexy, urbane, hilarious tale crossed with a fast-paced, camp, social comedy, with a touch of thriller, told in the unforgettable voice of fashion model Fiona Mays. Irresistible, loving, smart, and funny, Fiona is prey to "racing thoughts" that have a way of turning her flaws into virtues and virtues into flaws. It is from these reversals her story flows, as Fiona discovers that her supermodel best friend Brenda Rawlings is receiving death threats from Sergei Propokoff, the Russian oligarch she's been dating. The beautiful princess Brenda must be saved from Sergei the ogre and--the crucial point--this rescue is up to Fiona and Fiona alone. As Fiona tries to focus on her mission, Tequila Mockingbird takes us on a tour of New York hot spots, from scenes set in the worlds of high fashion and high art to the nightlife of lower Manhattan and a Brighton Beach mob hangout, with continuous returns to the Upper East Side home of Brenda's "stunning presence," of which Fiona relates: "...the moment I see her I start to get in sync. Not that she tries to be overwhelming or anything. It's just that she's way better looking than just about anyone else who was ever born. And so sweet. Kind of weirdly flawless, meaning she has this aura that draws you in. Whatever is happening, it's all about her, and that feels OK." But this first novel by a distinguished art critic and contemporary poet is, first and last, Fiona's unique and engaging voice as she reminisces, explains, complains, cajoles, seduces, and, most of all, jokes around--and deep into her personality we follow. And as it tells us who she is, her words conjure up spectacular images of the glamorous and often treacherous world where she lives and precariously flourishes. Secretly the book ends up a love story between the reader and the amazing Fiona!, Carter Ratcliff's Tequila Mockingbird is an urbane fairy tale crossed with a fast-paced, camp, social comedy told in the unforgettable voice of Manhattan fashion model Fiona Mays.

- c***i (98)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufItem as described in Good condition and arrived sooner than expected. Over the years, I've purchased many books from eBay sellers. Packaging was topnotch for this one. First the book was placed in a clear plastic bag. Then the book and a formfitting piece of styrofoam were added to a sturdy cardboard box so the book didn't bang around during shipping. Purchase supports a small Veterans business so extremely pleased overall. One of the good ones on eBay!
