I heard about it on Noleen (South Africa's Oprah), so was pleased to get my hands on it.
3 women connected in different ways, survivors in different ways. I would love to have known more about Haiti, but the parts set in Haiti and Ghana were fascinating. Haitian race 'rules', the Ghanaian textile industry and women trying to gain control over their own lives.
Enjoyable read.

This book is a sort-of thinking person's Judith Krantz (in the sense that there is quite some well-researched history included in the plot, and my only experience of Krantz to date has been Lily). It has a semi-autobiograhpical feel to it (check out the author's website) and a remarkable sense of what it's like to live in both London, Johannesburg, Singapore, New York (it certainly described much of my impressions in those places). It is, I would argue, firmly within the chick-lit genre, and show more yes, I picked it up at the airport because I had nothing to read and it was going to be a long flight (and I liked the cover). But I was surprised at being swept along with the prose, despite the fact that the plot/characters are fairly formulaic. If you only ever read chick-lit every-so-ofen, this is a better read than others of the ilk. If you are a true chick-lit fan, this should be on your bookshelf. show less
En underbar bok som jag inte har kunnat lägga ifrån mig. Boken handlar först och främs om vänskap mellan fyra kvinnor som träffas under skoltid och vi får följa det upp till vuxenlivet med allt vad livet innebär, de väljer alla väldigt olika vägar i livet. Det kanske inte låter som någon unik historia men i boken får vi träffa mycket starka och intressanta personer, och tjejernas liv är inte förutsägbar och det är inte boken heler. Den här boken har verkligen allt show more passion, vänskap, spänning, tragedier och lyx. Jag känner redan saknad över att historien är över för min del. show less
toppen bok som man inte kan lägga ifrån sig ! Läser man på bokens baksida så låter inte handlingen vara speciellt orginel men boken handlar om mycket mer än så, rivaliteten mellan Amber och Paola är bara en liten del av boken.
Älskar böcker där man får följa karaktärerna genom livet,ett plus om det är i lyxig miljö svek och rivalitet
