The Washingtonienne

Sinopse

In a snappy, unapologetic voice reminiscent of "moi" from Bergdorf Blondes, WASHINGTONIENNE narrator Jackie tells the story of her failed engagement, her decision to move from New York to Washington, and the mischief she starts getting into immediately upon arrival. From the married, Bush-appointed bureaucrat who gives her $400 for a lunchtime tryst—raising the question: at what point does "a gift" cross the line into "payment"?—to the staff counsel whose taste for spanking she "accidentally" leaks to the office, Jackie’s loosely fictionalized exploits serve up large portions of DC dish and prove that Washington’s taste for sexy extramarital relationships is by no means limited to the Oval Office. Fast-paced, deliciously gossipy and impossible to put down, THE WASHINGTONIENNE is destined to the book in next summer’s beach bag, from sea to shining sea.
