  <default-description>When Navy ensign Billy Grenville, heir to a vast New York fortune, sees showgirl Ann Arden on the dance floor, it is love at first sight. And much to the horror of Alice Grenville--the indomitable family matriarch--he marries her. Ann wants desperately to be accepted by high society and become the well-bred woman of her fantasies. But a gunshot one rainy night propels Ann into a notorious spotlight--as the two Mrs. Grenvilles enter into a conspiracy of silence that will bind them together for as long as they live. . . .</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Not my favorite Dominick Dunne book. Although, it features my favorite aspects in a Dominick Dunne tale: rich people, sass, pill-popping, affairs, craziness, and murder! Murder!!!<br/><br/>It's the tale of a lovely dancing lady with the most amazing rack known to man (allegedly) who marries a rich...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6432308">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[a fantastically fun read!  Mr. Dunne creates an edge-of-the-seat juicy read based on the true story of a cocktail waitress from the Copacobana who marries an extremely wealthy man, their tumultuous relationship, and the young wife's ultimately fatal rivalry with his mother.  At the very end, I reali...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10192848">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I re-read this book every couple of years and find it just as enjoyable.  It is a true curl up by the fire and step into another world of privilege, lies and despair all with impeccable clothing. Dominick Dunne definitely follows in the tradition of Evelyn Waugh and is worth every moment of the read...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35907400">more...</a>]]></body>
