Описание книги

The fall from the top can be a long one…Eager to play the part of dutiful wife, down-to-earth Marcy Ermerson agrees to relocate from Chicago to New York City when her husband is offered a big-time job managing a hedge fund. Leaving behind her own dreams, Marcy forgoes finding a new job in favour of trying to start a family. Besides, as she soon discovers, hedge fund wives don't work, they play. Hard.…Although at first it's fun to shop and party, Marcy quickly realizes that to find her feet in this new world of excess and superficiality she needs true friends. Only problem is behind every smile lurks a stab in the back.But it's not until her suddenly social climbing husband abruptly leaves her for his thinner, blonder mistress, that Marcy decides it's time to stand on her own two feet and fight for the things that are far more important than money.In the throes of the credit crunch, this tantalising tale is perfect for fans of Sex and the City and The Devil Wears Prada who still want a bit of bling for their buck.

Q & A with Tatiana Boncompagni, Author of HEDGE FUND WIVES. Q: What inspired you to write Hedge Fund Wives?

Q: Why did you decide to set your story against the backdrop of a recessionary U.S. economy?

Q: There’s a lot of discussion of real estate, as well as art and interior décor in the book. Are hedge fund wives really that obsessed with material possessions?

Q: The marriages seem pretty unbalanced. Do you think a woman can be married to a wealthy man and expect to have an equal amount of power in the relationship?

Q: One of your characters, Warren Robbins, is a hedge fund manager obsessed with Hemingway, and there are a lot of Hemingway references in the book. Why did you include them?

Q: What’s with all the chartreuse?

Q: Were there any Hedge Fund Wife anecdotes that didn’t make it into the book?

Caroline shook her head. ‘Would be a nightmare. But tell me, I’ve been meaning to ask. Preston Bailey or David Monn?’

‘Bailey was busy today so Monn planned the event. Personally, I think they’re both talented but Monn does better florals,’ Dahlia replied before sliding open the golden pyramid covering the face of her wristwatch to check the time. ‘I think we should start lunch,’ she said, motioning to one of her many housekeepers to begin ushering the guests into the dining room.
