The ultimate glamorous, escapist blockbuster - perfect for fans of Melanie Blake, Jackie Collins and Shirley Conran's Lace.\n\nGlamour. Deceit. Sex. Deadly ambition.\n\nThey have the world at their feet.\n\nAnd they want it all.\n\nInnocent Phoebe has only known a life of privilege.\n\nStreet-smart Paula has had to make her own way in the world.\n\nWhen the two girls meet as teenagers, they form a deep sisterly bond, recognising in one other a yearning for love and for lives that are different from the ones into which they were born. But when they each suffer a personal trauma, they are torn apart and set out on very different paths.\n\nSo begins a rollercoaster journey throughout the 1970s of extreme highs and lows for Phoebe and Paula, as they travel from the epicentre of cool on the Kings Road, Chelsea, to the glamour of Paris, LA and the South of France.\n\nIt's a scandalous world of sex, drugs, celebrity and wealth - alluring, addictive...and deceptive.
