English Summary/英文概要： A hilarious and heartfelt exploration of women’s relationship with their looks, following a 46-year-old woman threatened and spurred on by her friend’s dabbling in plastic surgery.
The fourth novel from India Knight is a hilarious, heartfelt exploration of women’s relationship with their looks.
What’s a woman to do when she wakes up one morning and finds an enormous freak-wrinkle bisecting her forehead? When she walks past the buildings site and nothing happens? When she catches the eye of a nice young man and is rewarded with a kind, patient, for-granny smile?
Clara Hutt, 46, feels herself to be in her absolute prime. She is chipper. Her sap is rising mightily, as it happens. But then her friend Anna comes back from California and moves in with her. Anna is no stranger to Los Angeles’s more invasive cosmetic procedures. She may be pushing 50 but she looks 35. And Clara wonders: should she follow suit? A little Botox, a little filler, a little nip, a little tuck . . . but where to stop? And is nostril-waxing ever a good idea?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一个46岁的女人一边被其友人所尝试的整形外科手术所鼓动，一边又对手术充满了担忧。本书就该故事对女性的容貌与其感情生活的关系进行了一场既妙趣横生又发自肺腑的探索。本书是尹迪亚•奈特的第四部小说作品，就女性容貌与其感情生活的关系进行了深入的探究。试想，如果一名女子在清晨醒来之时发现一条可怕的皱纹爬上了她的前额、当她走过某幢大楼却没有引起任何人的注意、抑或当她与某位年轻帅气的男子眼神相遇之时，却只收到男子报以的犹如对待老奶奶般的亲切且满是耐心的一笑时，她会怎么办呢?
克莱拉•哈特是一名46是的女人，然而她却感觉自己正值魅力四射的年岁，当然，她也的确是一名漂亮且精力旺盛的女人。这时，克莱拉从加州回来的朋友安娜搬来与她同住，安娜是那种对于洛杉矶的美容方式毫不陌生的人，年近50的她看来不过35岁的模样。克莱拉不禁动摇：自己是否也应该随波逐流？只需要一点点的A型肉毒杆菌，一点填充物，切掉一点点，在加上一些减脂术，美丽似乎触手可及！可重点是，长久如此，到何处才是个尽头?鼻蜡又是否真的是个好主意？(DC)
