USED- SOFT COVER MID SIZE EDITION -SLIGHT CREASES TO FRONT COVER ...WILL COMBINE BOOKS TO SAVE POSTAGE IF POSSIBLE-Why is Juliana always cast as the victim in her films? It's her eyes- 'they widen so nicely in terror.' In movies, she has been stabbed, bludgeoned, and once impaled upon a decorative sword. Now it may be that her once-loving husband is trying to kill her. Or has Juliana become too suggestible? The elements - a frozen corpse, a stalker and a high-voltage courtroom drama - echo her starring roles, but where are her romantic saviours? The police don't seem like potential lovers; her lawyer wants her money- life, she discovers, is very different from the movies, especially her own. Even her charming lake resort town turns out to be a facade, hiding a divorce and dysfunction cottage industry. Taut and beautifully written, Dreams of Rescue turns the female-in-peril story on its head, illuminating the secrets of a dangerous marriage and creating a contemporary tale as powerful as the classics Rebecca and Gaslight.
