Don't forget to look out for Wendy's follow-up memoir, \u003ci\u003eHeart of Glass\u003c\/i\u003e, coming March 2016 from Gallery Books. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGeorgann Rea didn't bake cookies or go to PTA meetings; she wore a mink coat and always had a lit Dunhill plugged into her cigarette holder. She'd slept with too many men and a few women, and she didn't like dogs or chil-dren. Georgann possessed the icy beauty of a Hitchcock heroine with the cold heart to match. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom living at the Dakota in 1960s Manhattan to London's swinging town houses and beyond, Wendy Lawless and her younger sister navigated day-to-day life as their unstable and fabulously neglectful mother, Georgann, chased her delusions, suffered dramatic breakdowns, and survived suicide attempts. With clear-eyed grace and flashing wit, Lawless portrays the highs and lows of her unhinged upbringing--and how she survived her mother's endlessly destructive search for glamour and fulfillment--in \"a searing memoir that reads like a novel\" (Anne Korkeakivi, \u003ci\u003eAn Unexpected Guest\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Gallery Books","offers":[{"title":"Chanel Bonfire: A Book Club Recommendation! | Wendy Lawless | Hardcover | 9781451675368 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks C 1758266","offer_id":49178493845656,"sku":"1758266","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/812osk05yLL.jpg?v=1780075029","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/chanel-bonfire-a-book-club-recommendation","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
