Dispatches
from Paradise
By
Shelly Gitlow
BLURB:
Author and screenwriter Shelly Gitlow makes her fiction debut in
this colorful, lightning-paced, and often wildly unpredictable modern tale
about sex, lies, and love.
From the very first
page, DISPATCHES FROM PARADISE takes
readers to the family battlefield of three generations of women living together
in the sultry city of Miami -- where DD cups abound, octogenarians recite
erotic poetry and an S&M Fitness class is not for the fainthearted.
Written in the distinct voices of Liz (39) who pulls the plug on
her marriage and quits her job so she can re-boot her life, her over-sexed
mother, Claudette (55) who’s searching for her next partner/meal ticket, and
Darcy (18) Liz’s beautiful, reckless daughter who’s realizing she might also
have a brain and be a lesbian, DISPATCHES
FROM PARADISE explores the complex dynamics of the women’s relationships as
they tear through Miami’s wild clubs and outrageous art scene, changing,
growing and reconnecting on new terms.
Drawing upon her unique
insights as a family therapist, author Shelly Gitlow gives readers three
characters they will never forget.
Her debut novel marks the arrival of a bold brash narrative voice.
EXCERPTS
(GRANDMOTHER) CLAUDETTE: “What a day! First Liz called and
interrupted me ….. Then [Alphonse] keeled over and croaked, and his heinous
children kicked me out on the street. I practically had to get on my knees and
beg my daughter to let me stay with her. She detests me because I have a sex
life, but that’s who I am, and I’m not changing. Talk about cramping a gal’s
style. How am I going to have any fun with her around?”
