The Lowe Job
Description
A fresh and stylish debut following a family of women who are thrust into the spotlight in the wake of a scandal and expertly exploit their newfound fame--perfect for readers of Good Material and Margo's Got Money Troubles.
When Lili Lowe gets caught having an affair with her married boss, an admired politician, she finds herself at the epicenter of a scandal that could dismantle her life as she knows it. She turns, as many daughters would, to her mother. Yet Lydia Lowe is a former talent agent, and it's not long before the whole world knows the name Lili Lowe.
As the spotlight brightens on Lili and her three younger sisters Stevie, Iris, and Katie, the Lowe women's lives are changed in ways they could never have predicted. It's soon clear that fame and fortune, comes with a price—and sometimes, the louder one’s voice (especially a woman’s), the more others will seek to silence it.
With a potent blend of spectacular style, compulsive voice, sharp social commentary, and ferocious heart, The Lowe Job is escapism with teeth: a contemporary book club novel for the modern reader looking for fresh fiction that is at once funny, sexy, incisive, and heartfelt.
