5.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinated By Fashion Design World,
By carol irvin "carol irvin" (United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Fashionably Late (Mass Market Paperback)
Goldsmith held me rapt again with her insider view of the fashion design industry with protagonist Karen Krahn, who seems very like real world Donna Karan. KK has hit it big in the New York design scene but has problems to handle on every level of her life. She can't have a baby because she's just been told by her OB-GYN that she is permanently infertile. Her husband doesn't want to adopt but does want her to sell their company to a huge corporation which will have all of the work done offshore under dubious conditions. Her impossible mother won't reveal who her birth mother is plus her half sister has her eye on Karen's husband. This is a very juicy novel which I couldn't put down. It transports you to that design world and doesn't let go until the end.

Another winner from Goldsmith,
This review is from: Fashionably Late (Mass Market Paperback)
This was a great book that I found very hard to put down. This story revolves around an excellent fashion designer Karen Kahn, who after many years in the aggressive and competetive fashio world, has finally received golden honours. She has a loving husband, wonderful working environs and a dysfunctional but entertaining family, so why is she still unhappy? Karen would love to concieve a child but cannot, plus she was adopted when she was very young, so this really is a story about Karen finding out who she is and what she wants out of life. But, this is not a heavy finding-yourself book, it is a very entertaining and easy to read book that will have you laughing, crying or hurling the book across the room, depending on the bit you are reading!! I really enjoyed 'Young Wives Club' and 'Bestseller' and this is up there with those two books. I cannot wait to get OS next book as they are all brilliant esp if you are looking for entertaining books to keep you happy over the weekend! Highly recommended!

My favorite of all Ms. Goldsmiths books,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fashionably Late (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved this book! The heroine was likeable and real and the plot engrossing. The parts that were somewhat unlikely were still great fun to read. Ms. Goldsmith combines stories that consist of the way life really is and the way that we'd like it to be (happy endings, sweet revenge etc.)This book is perfect vacation reading and like all of Ms. Goldsmiths books the perfect gift to give to a woman friend. My only regret is that I don't own it in hard cover. I'm going to have to buy multiple copies because of all the wear and tear I've inflicted by re-reading it and lending it out.
