Stranger Than Fiction: My Wild Life With Harold Robbins

by Grace Robbins, Frank Sanello

Sex...glamour...orgies...money...power. Such was the magic formula that propelled Harold Robbins' nearly two dozen novels to sell millions and millions of copies worldwide. The inspiration for his stories was drawn largely from his own real life -- which was every bit as racy and adventurous as his fiction.Now Grace Robbins, his wife of 28 years, candidly reveals the fascinating and often shocking world that Robbins created for himself and those around him. The story of his life with Grace has all the excitement and intrigue, seduction and betrayal that made his books de riguer on beaches from Saint-Tropez to Waikiki.

Ms. Robbins shares her husband's gift for storytelling as she exposes life with the man behind the best-sellers. Her memoir resonates with honesty, humor, and an irresistible peek at an extravagant lifestyle.
