Book Reviews of Isabel's Bed
Book Review: "Life is a Soap-Opera Extravaganza"
Summary: 5 Stars
Harriet Mahoney is 41, recently split from a 12-year, live-in reltionship, and a going nowhere career. She longs to write full-time, to finish the fictionalized story of her parents' romance. She is looking for, "a job, a friend, a hiding place where I could live out my days."She finds all three in Isabel Krug, the sexy apex of a scandalous and fatal love triangle. Isabel "contracts" Harriet to ghostwrite her story from her pretentious and elegant Cape Cod home. Harriet begins the research on Isabel's facinating story. The writing is slow and despite promises that her life will be her own, Harriet soon becomes personal assistant. But from this vantage point, she learns a new attitude for life: take risks.
In love and career, Harriet takes newly inspired risks and realizes the emptiness in her life can be filled with people she loves and by doing work she enjoys.
