Sobre este título

 Here’s the delightful new novel from Clare Naylor, whose sleeper hit Dog Handling was one of Cosmopolitan’s Best Beach Reads for 2002. Fresh and fun, The Goddess Rules is an outrageous, wry, and razor-sharp portrait of a girl who thinks her life is just fine–until she meets a woman who swears by the belief that life is meant to be fabulous.

When obsessed pet owners have pooches or kitties they want immortalized on canvas, Kate Disney is the artist of choice. From her shed (which doubles as a studio and apartment) in London’s Primrose Hill, Kate caters to the whims of the rich and famous while herself living a decidedly bohemian existence. The problem is, she has a tendency to cater to her on-again, way-off-again boyfriend as well. Jake is so erratic, that most of her friends don’t understand why she even bothers. But it’s hard to fall out of love with a man who writes her songs and calls her “Angel”–even if he disappears for weeks at a time.

Luckily for Kate, Mirabelle Moncur isn’t buying any of that claptrap. Mirri was an actress, a legend in her time. Now, at age sixty, she’s given up on fame and men and lives in Africa, where she raises lion cubs. But her reclusive nature has done nothing to dull her beauty, mar her incredible figure, or dampen her outrageous joie de vivre.

After sweeping into London to have Kate paint a portrait of her favorite cub, Mirri seizes hold of Kate’s life–from the baggy wardrobe to the hopeless taste in men. Under Mirri’s tutelage, Kate learns to dance on tables with abandon, drink like a dockworker, and flirt like a goddess. And when her old friend Louis reenters the picture, she begins to see things in a whole new light. But Mirri has secrets that hint at a less than divine future. Now it’s Kate’s turn to teach Mirri a thing or two about life, love, and being fabulous.©2005 Clare Naylor; (P)2005 Random House, Inc. Random House Audio, a division of Random House, Inc.

Resumo da Crítica

Praise for Clare Naylor

Dog Handling
“Readers will stay on Naylor’s scent as she devises surprising ways to break up and re-pair brightly drawn characters. . . . Yip, yip hooray!”
–People

“[A] red-hot read sure to turn up the heat.”
–Cosmopolitan


Catching Alice
“Naylor has fun in this send-up–surely only in Los Angeles would old-fashioned wooing with chocolates, flowers, and love notes be interpreted as stalking–and her readers will, too.”
–Booklist

“Delicious . . . a refreshing, sexy, and funny novel.”
–Publishing News


Love: A User’s Guide
“Lighthearted and assured . . . [Naylor] has created a comic heroine with a difference. . . . With the sharply intelligent wit of a modern Elizabeth Bennet and the imagination of Ally McBeal, Amy is the best excuse yet for surrender . . . to the [British] Invasion.”
–Publishers Weekly

“A perky tale of a glossy magazine fashion assistant’s adventures in wonderland.”
–The Guardian
