Produktbeschreibung
With beguiling wit and undeniable passion, Lush Lives is a deliciously queer and sexy novel about bold, brilliant women unafraid to take risks and fight for what they loveAn unabashedly charged love story set in the evocative and high-stakes world of art and auction in New York City, Roxane Gay Booksâ¿ second title is a crowd-pleaser in the vein of Jasmine Guilloryâ¿s The Wedding Date and Helen Wanâ¿s The Partner Track. For Glory Hopkins, inheriting her Aunt Lucilleâ¿s Harlem brownstone feels more like a curse than a blessing. As a restless artist struggling to find gallery representation, Glory doesnâ¿t have the money, time, or patience to look after the aging house of an aunt she barely knew. But when she stumbles into Parkie de Groot, a savvy, ambitious auction house appraiser on the verge of a coveted promotion, her unexpected inheritance begins to look more promising. Glory and Parkie form an unlikely alliance and work to unearth the origins of a rare manuscript hidden in the brownstoneâ¿s attic. In doing so, they uncover not only the well-kept secrets of Lucilleâ¿s life but also the complex relationships between Harlem and its distinguished residents. Undeniable as their connection may be, complications arise that threaten to tear apart their newly forged relationship. Between Parkieâ¿s struggle to overcome the heartache of past romances and professional problems that threaten to end her rising career, and Gloryâ¿s unbridled and all-consuming ambition, they begin to keep secrets from each other. The deeper they dig into the mysteries of the Harlem brownstone, the more fraught their relationship becomes. Lush Lives is an unforgettable novel of queer love, ambition, and the forgotten histories that define us.
