Bu e-kitab haqqında

The Necklace tells the stories of three women, each with a dangerous secret. There is 80-year-old mafia widow Kate Brady, determined that her secret will die with her - beautiful, blond and famous Andrea Pryor is being blackmailed for her secret - and 18-year-old Marianne Woodsman whose secret is hidden in her family’s Park Avenue penthouse. Marianne runs for her life from her dangerously dysfunctional family, through a homeless shelter and a brothel until her story intertwines with Kate’s and Andrea’s in a three-generational embrace.

Müəllif haqqında

Born in Cleveland Ohio, 91 year old Babette Hughes grew up in the time of Prohibition and bootleggers. Her father was one of the first bootleggers in the country, and was murdered by the mafia in a turf war at the age of 29.
Writing has allowed her to draw from those unusual life experiences to create her characters and tell their stories (and sometimes cautionary tales) in vivid detail. Gangsters and guns, women and wine, sin and society all melded together in riveting detail for readers from all walks of life who somehow relate to the characters she creates.
