DEAD RICH
Book ID/图书代码： 04300012B52051
English Summary/英文概要： The Spenders are Britain’s Favourite Family - they are glamorous, rich and very, very famous,
everything that their celebrity obsessed culture requires them to be. Their charisma and looks ensure that they are constantly feted, and hounded, by the press. The public adores them. They live what appears to be a charmed and enviable existence. In the claustrophobic confines of their exquisite houses there is a darker reality. Isolated and hemmed in by the paparazzi and their crazed fans, they are trapped in their fame. Constantly surrounded by an army of long-suffering employees: stylists, PAs, personal trainers, drivers, security teams, hair and make-up artists, managers, agents, publicists, they are never alone but always lonely. With nothing else to do but ‘drink and fight and screw’ they breakfast on prescription drugs, lunch on vodka and dine on anything illegal they can get their hands on. Their privileged, high profile lifestyle is shattered when tragedy strikes- tearing apart the fragile fabric of their existence, and sending them spinning out of control...
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 斯宾德（The Spenders）一家是英国最受欢迎的家庭，他们光彩夺目，富甲一方，非常有名，所拥有的一切都是他们崇拜名人的文化所需要的。
他们的一举一动都要受到媒体的热烈追捧。他们过着人人艳羡的光辉生活。
然而，月亮有明亮的一面，也有黑暗的一面。他们光鲜的外表下究竟隐藏着什么，我们都想知道。正是因为这样的好奇心，他们被狗仔围得水泄不通，因名而困，动弹不得。失去自由，豪宅也不过牢笼一座，纵有化妆师、私人教练、保安队、造型师等一众人马，还是寂寞无比。于是，他们堕落了，消极了。他们的优渥生活开始急剧下降，悲剧由此诞生。（XJJ & CK）

About the Author/作者介绍： 路易斯·凡奈尔（Louise Fennell ）17岁凭借为上世纪70年代著名设计师工作的机会，跻身上流社会。这些年间，她借工作机会游遍世界，为T台、荧屏以及摇滚界的各种明星制作服装。中间她做过摄影代理，不过最终还是回到了设计的舞台，开创自己的时尚事业。后来她嫁给了设计师西奥·芬内尔，育有二女。这是她的第一部小说。
LOUISE FENNELL was first introduced to the gilded gutter life of the rich and famous when, aged 17, she began working for the iconic dress designer Thea Porter in 70s Soho. In those years she travelled extensively from the Colony Room Club in Dean Street to Paris, New York and Los Angeles, dressing the stars of stage, screen and rock and roll. After a stint as a photographer’s agent she returned to her first love: ‘zipping divas into dresses’, and started her own fashion business in the 90s, which she enjoyably continues to do today. Louise is married to the designer Theo Fennell and they have two daughters. This is her first novel.
