Event details
This activity is open to NTU staff.
Join Tracy Lowe online every second Wednesday of the month for our free staff book club.
Tracy works in the library on our Brackenhurst Campus and loves her job (her words!). Basically she loves books. Buying them, reading them, reviewing them, sharing them and talking about them. Join Tracy at these sessions for chats all about books.
No need to book, just join online.
Our book for October — Valley of the Dolls, Jacqueline Susan
Before Jackie Collins, Candace Bushnell and Lena Dunham, Jacqueline Susann held the world rapt with her tales of the private passions of Hollywood starlets, high-powered industrialists and the jet-set.Valley of the Dolls took the world by storm when it was first published, fifty years ago. Never had a book been so frank about sex, drugs and show business. It is often sited as the bestselling novel of all time.
Dolls — red or black; capsules or tablets; washed down with vodka or swallowed straight. For Anne, Neely and Jennifer, it doesn't matter, as long as the pill bottle is within easy reach. These three beautiful women become best friends when they are young and in New York, struggling to make their names in the entertainment industry. Only when they reach the peak of their careers do they find there's nowhere left to go but down — to the Valley of the Dolls.
