    <![CDATA[When Laura Fraser's husband leaves her for his high school sweetheart, she takes off, on impulse, for Italy, hoping to leave some of her sadness behind. There, on the island of Ischia, she meets M., an aesthetics professor from Paris with an oversized love of life. What they both assume will be a casual vacation tryst turns into a passionate, transatlantic love affair, as they rendezvous in London, Marrakech, Milan, the Aeolian Islands, and San Francisco. Each encounter is a delirious immersion into place (sumptuous food and wine, dazzling scenery, lush gardens, and vibrant streetscapes) and into each other. And with each experience, Laura brings home not only a lasting sense of pleasure, but a more fully recovered sense of her emotional and sexual self. Written with an observant eye, an open mind, and a delightful sense of humor,<strong> An Italian Affair</strong> has the irresistible honesty of a story told from and about the heart.]]>

    <![CDATA[A reformed dieter and an exbulimic, Laura Fraser traces our fixation with thinness to the images that began appearing a hundred years ago in magazines like  <em>Ladies Home Journal</em> and <em>Cosmopolitan</em>.  Fraser chronicles the corresponding growth of a $50 billion a year industry that provides false hope in exchange for cash.  In this meticulously researched journey through Dietland, Fraser gives the inside scoop on: <br/>  Diet drugs, including the controversial phen/fen<br/>  Diet gurus Richard Simmons, Susan Powter, and Dean Ornish<br/>  Commercial weight loss centers, including Jenny Craig and Weight  Watchers<br/>  Weightloss products like thigh creams and diet cookies<br/>  Provocative, political, and personal, this revealing book is a remarkable work of investigative journalism and an enthralling, compelling story with almost universal relevance. <br/>  The hardcover edition of Losing It  received major television coverage, including appearances on &quot;NBC Nightly News,&quot; the &quot;Today&quot; show, &quot;Home and Family,&quot; and &quot;Good Day New York.&quot;  Excerpts of Losing It and related articles by Laura Fraser appeared in <em>Mirabella, Vogue, Glamour, Fitness, Good Housekeeping, Self, Mademoiselle</em>, and <em>Health</em>. ]]>
