Book desription: New York, NY, U.S.A.: Random House, Incorporated, 1998. Hard Bound, Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. This novel is funny serious, and compelling. Once again, Flagg's humor, respect and affection for her characters shine forth. Many inhabit small-town or suburban America. But this time, her heroine is urban: a brainy, beautiful, and ambitious rising start of 1970's television. Dena Nordstrom, pride of the network, is a woman whose future is full of promise, her present rich with complications, and her past marked with mystery. The dust jacket has a few chips and small tears and the top and bottom of spine. 467 pages, no marks or tears. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
