Title: Manhattan in the 80's
Product review: Sandra Berlin is one of the junior up and coming stars of the New York magazine world, working as assistant and general dogsbody to the senior staff at Jolie fashion magazine. The love of her life is her fiance, Bucky, who preceded her to New York and who welcomed her arrival as a new graduate with enthusiasm until she discovered that he is also engaged to two other women. Sandra is a smart, educated woman but where Bucky is concerned, she turns into a pathetic, self deluding wimp who won't let herself believe that Bucky is a cheating, lying creep who preys on women for his own advantage. Chapters of this book cover the devastating effects that the new disease of AIDS is having on the gay community, and detail the horrifying death of one of Sandra's closest friends. It's not exactly a cheerful read!
