Description

A thrilling literary epic about sex, friendship, feminism and love beyond labels, set against the neon-lit porn world of 1980s Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, 1982. Best friends Jude and Winnie are 18 and working at a strip club. Soon they progress to modelling for Penthouse and Hustler, then to shooting hardcore porn. Dazzled by the drugs, sex and parties their new life offers, they are also beset by sexism, bitter competition and the precarity of life on the margins. When their friendship ends in recrimination and a dramatic act of betrayal, Jude goes missing and Winnie can find no trace of her.

Thirty years later, newly divorced and down on her luck, Winnie is ready to face her past. Determined to solve the mystery of what happened to Jude, she sets out to brave the dark underbelly of the adult industry. What follows is a gutsy, propulsive look at sex and power that builds to an unforgettable revelation about love.

An addictive, twist-filled story, perfect for fans of Mary Gaitskill, Emma Cline and Rachel Kushner.
