The World is Full of Divorced Women is a glossy, gritty and compelling read. Page 3 model Muffin, her Svengali like boyfriend Jon and their professional and private jaunts around London will make you chuckle with glee.
Cleo, a more uptown sister from Belgravia, jets in from New York to conduct a series of interviews with male movie stars around Europe whilst nursing the mental scars of a bad marriage. Her beauty, intelligence and wit will inspire many readers to cope with sticky situations with equal aplomb.
This story was written in the mid 70's when women making it on their own were still a novelty. Collins was an innovator of the fast, trashy and mesmeric fiction. Shameless product placement, glitzy locations and a sharp observation of social interactions will have the reader focused until the final page.
A fantastic story that needs to be read twice to capture every essence of lust, ambition, anger and vengeance.
