Repostagem: Livro - Dorothy on the rocks

O romance de estreia de Barbara Suter, Dorothy on the Rocks, foi vencedor de prêmios de romance estreante.  Permeado entre a realidade e a fantasia da vida de Maggie Barlow, uma atriz/cantora que vive um momento um tanto conturbado e perdido de sua existência, o romance expõe suas agruras, crises e negações numa vida com muito cigarro, bebida e encontros românticos casuais. O que a história pode reservar para essa mulher na chegada de sua meia-idade?
