LIVING SINGLE: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 14780005B00491
English Summary/英文概要： From Holly Chamberlin, author of Tuscan Holiday and Summer Friends, comes a witty, insightful novel chronicling a year in one woman’s quest to find love, joy—and herself…
At twenty, singlehood is a lifestyle choice. At thirty-two, it starts to feel like an affliction. Erin Weston has a rewarding PR career, loyal friends, and a wonderful Boston condo. But in between weekend brunches, farmers’ market forays, and dinners in Cambridge and the South End, Erin can’t shake the sense that something’s missing. The traditional ideal—husband, house, clothing-coordinated children—once seemed too obvious, and pride in her accomplishments doesn’t keep the loneliness at bay. Now, ready to venture into uncharted territory, Erin is going to claim the life she thinks she wants. And in the process, she might just figure out exactly what—and who—she really needs…
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 欢迎来欣赏Chamberlin笔下刻画的四位三十出头现代女性们神奇生活，看他们在一年中如何机智勇敢地面对情感、单身生活以及大城市中的繁华世界。
Erin Weston现年三十二岁，她决定要集中全部精力找到她的Mr right，当然这可不表明她要牺牲那份波斯顿公关公司的美差。但是当她发现一位又一位梦中情人都已名花有主后，Erin就不得不考虑如何赢得她的Mr. Right的心，特别是现在这位让她神魂颠倒的白马王子。
Abby Walker天生就是无可就药的浪漫种，她铁了心要结婚生子。而且Abby长相出众，多少男人跪拜在她的石榴裙下，就连Erin老爸这把年纪的都抵不住了……Erin的爸爸刚刚离婚。
JoAnne Chiofalo是位颇有名望的儿科医师，她给波士顿的孩子们看病----但是她自己的生活却缺乏温馨爱情的呵护。
Maggie Branley可不是什么时尚女性，但是她聪明机智又极富怜悯心。虽然读研究生时谈那场注定不会有好结果的恋爱让她从此厌恶男性，但是要让她重回爱情游戏场看来也是昨日黄花。
这一年对四位姐妹花来说，可谓波澜不惊。事业蒸蒸日上，鸡尾酒会一场接一场的开，四位女人走上波士顿熙熙攘攘的大街上寻找放纵和爱情以及纵欲与爱情间一切的一切。白天不顺利，晚上又寂寞难耐，害的他们接二连三地犯错，但是这可无法动摇他们对五星级饭店的信念以及四人间的友谊。
“《欲望城市》的读者们肯定会喜欢四位小姐的浪漫逸事，也可以听听他们如何进行“圆桌会议”，诉衷肠，感叹单身女人们艰辛和苦楚。”
