Sex And The City

Jane Austen with a martini * Sunday Telegraph *
Hilarious... a compulsively readable book, served up in bite-sized chunks of irrepressible irreverence * Marie Claire *
Fascinating... hilarious... welcome to the cruel planet that is Manhattan * Los Angeles Times *
Bushnell is a deft writer, possessing a sly sense of humor and sharp insight into human behaviour * People *
Bushnell's beat is that demi-monde of nightclubs, bars, restaurants and parties where the rich come into contact with the infamous, the famous with the wannabes and the publicity-hungry with the gossip-peddlers * Evening Standard *
Intriguing and highly entertaining * Helen Fielding *
The book that sparked a cultural phenomenon * Oprah *
Bushnell is the modern flame carrier of an established literary tradition: that of American (usually New York) women writers depicting the rigid social and slackening sexual rules of a very particular American (and, again, usually New York) set through a mix of close personal knowledge and fiction... Compared with the hugely popular television series, the book is tough, unapologetic and jittery with anxiety... hilarious, hard-edged, delightful, harsh, elegant and fun * Guardian *
