Zelda's Cut | Philippa Gregory
Literary novelist Isobel Latimer is respected, respectable, and secretly tired of her dutiful life. In desperation, she decides to write the kind of "trash" that sells, under the name Zelda Vere. As Zelda emerges -- through a mix of cosmetics, fashion, and imagination -- Isobel discovers how enjoyable life can be when it is filled with beauty and romance.
