Lucky Dogs by Helen Schulman
The paths of two women on opposite ends of a high-profile sexual abuse scandal set them on a devastating collision course. Part thriller, part Hollywood satire, Lucky Dogs>is a brash, sometimes heartbreaking saga in which trauma and self-preservation converge across decades and continents. This is Helen Schulman's best novel yet.--Jennifer Egan, author of>A Visit from the Goon Squad>and>The Candy House On a sultry summer night in Paris, two women meet in line at an ice cream kiosk on the Ile de la Cit . One is tall, fair, striking, with an indeterminate accent. The other, a troubled American TV star, is hiding her beauty and identity under a shapeless sweatshirt, wearing sunglasses even in the darkness. When leering male tourists hassle the pair, the blonde pulls out a knife and a sisterhood is born. Both women have been victims of male violence, and both are warriors--one trained and calculating, one instinctually ferocious. They each think they know who they are dealing with. But both are very, very wrong. In a story that unfolds with unexpected humor and the pace of a thriller, acclaimed novelist Helen Schulman lays bare what happens to women--no matter how fortunate they may appear to be on the surface--whose lives have been warped by brutality and misogyny. The issues are universal, but the core of the story is intimate: a passionate exploration of love, betrayal, and survival. Lucky Dogs>asks and answers a shattering question: How could one woman so utterly betray another?
