Description
Simone is one of the Glitterati, the elite living lives of luxury and leisure. Slave to the ever-changing tides – and brutal judgements - of fashion, he is immaculate. To be anything else is to be unfashionable, and no one wants to be unfashionable, or even worse, ugly…
When Simone accidentally starts a new fashion with a nosebleed at a party, another Glitterati takes the credit. Soon their rivalry threatens to raze their opulent utopia to the ground, as no one knows how to be vicious like the beautiful ones.
Enter a world of the most fantastic costumes, grand palaces in the sky, the grandest parties known to mankind and the unbreakable rules of how to eat ice cream. A fabulous dystopian fable about fashion, family and the feckless billionaire class.
Advance Praise
"Glitterati is a strange, bright wonder of a book that begins as a playful satirization of the world of couture and ends as a finely-cut lens into the habits of the modern world."—Cassandra Khaw, author of 'Nothing But Blackened Teeth'
"A fabulously twisted journey of self discovery, but inside the visual extravaganza there beats a dark, human heart - 'Glitterati' is a many-hued delight." — Aliya Whiteley, award-winning author of 'The Beauty' and 'The Loosening Skin'
"Fabulous! A sensory powder keg of a book that bursts with wit, poise and oh-so cutting-edge style. Literary but feather-light, this is the most elegant and charming thing you’ll read all year. It had me grinning from ear to ear the whole way through." — Josh Winning, author of 'The Shadow Glass'
"Glitterati promises to be your new obsession... a world of fashion, backstabbing, baubles, and ice cream, in which compulsive, light-as-air storytelling hints and teases at the seriously dark dystopia behind it all. I absolutely loved this book." — Ally Wilkes, author of 'All the White Spaces'
"A scintillating dive into Langmead's kaleidoscopic imagination." — Stark Holborn, author of 'Ten Low'
"High fashion meets dark satire in this hilarious dystopia of manners. As heart-warming as it is razor-sharp. I laughed so hard I spat out my Dom Perignon – read it before everyone else does!'' — J. L Worrad, author of 'Pennyblade'
