A decade ago, Julia Callaghan, now 29-years old, knew what it was like to be a movie star. Plucked from drama school and critically acclaimed in her first film, an incredible acting career seemed a certainty. But somehow it never happened. Her most successful role since has been her almost impervious self-delusion. And then Patrick, athletic, handsome and chronically dishonest, comes into her life. A one-night stand that enthrals Julia unfortunately doesn't have the same effect on him. And Patrick's finding it difficult to cope with the consequences. This acerbic, witty novel puts these two self-obsessed people together in the narcissistic 1980s, and surrounds them with mirrors of the traps they've unwittingly set for themselves. Stewart's writing belongs in a category all of its own. With a wickedly humorous style, she constricts the lens of her characters' vision and chronicles their chaotic lives.
