Once again the acclaimed British author of Rhode Island Blues and
Big Girls Don't Cry draws us into an unmistakably wild, rollicking
tale full of her trademark satirical wit and sharp observation.
Grace McNab Salt is the recently divorced wife of the millionaire
Barley Salt, who has married Doris Dubois, the sexy, young host of
TV's Artsworld Extra. The novel opens with Grace emerging from jail
where she was sent for trying to run Doris over with her Jaguar in
a supermarket parking lot in an act of revenge. All three attend a
London charity ball, and in typical Weldon fashion the meeting
turns everyone's lives upside down. Weldon's world is one of
relationships: torrid affairs, lovers' spite, and revenge. Full of
clever women, breathless romance, insistent desires, and even a
dose of the supernatural, The Bulgari Connection is a boisterously
witty and stylish novel. The publication of The Bulgari Connection
created a whirl of controversy when a front-page New York Times
article revealed that Weldon received an undisclosed sum of money
from the famous Italian jeweler for a prominent place in her novel.
The debate about the legitimacy of commercially sponsored
literature has been heating up ever since.
