Altar Ego - Softcover
‘Query: Would it be a serious breach of etiquette to run out on my own wedding?’ This is the question Becky Steele asks herself as she clings to the window ledge of her parents’ bathroom, grimly regarding the ten-foot drop into the dustbins below. She stares in disbelief at the meringue dress for which she has drunk only skimmed water for four weeks to fit into. Why can’t Becky commit to Julian, human rights lawyer, and her Knight in Shining Armani? Yes, Julian’s the right man, but has she had enough wrong ones? “Lette, author of the international bestsellers Foetal Attraction and Mad Cows, brings her bawdy wit and uninhibited writing style to this tale of love, life, and relationships.” ― Booklist “Bad girls will love it.” ― Sunday Telegraph “Light, witty and exceedingly naughty.” ― Mirror

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Kathy Lette first achieved noterity as a teenager with the novel Puberty Blues . Since then, she has written several international bestsellers, including Foetal Attraction Mad Cows . A native Australian, she lives in London.
A master of the chick-lit genre, British author Kathy Lette has struck gold once again with this novel of 30-something hilarity. Aided by a vibrant reading by Shirley Barthelmie, the story of Becky Steele comes to life as she grapples with her problems. Struggles with marriage, being jilted, and affairs become a spirited aural romp. Barthelmie expertly portrays the subtle shifts in English accents in the effervescent banter between Becky and her friends. While the American accents leave something to be desired, overall this story of a conflicted modern woman is a joy to listen to. Prepare to laugh aloud as the high jinks ensue.
