About Tales of the Countess: A Chick Lit Romantic Comedy Novel, With Handbags
How can a woman so capable at work be so useless at getting a man? Kennington, London, 1998 The Countess of Kennington awakes one morning after a heavy night and realises it all has to stop. She has to stop drinking her problems away. She has to stop acting irresponsibly. And she has to stop obsessing over the MSL: the Man She Loves. But things are often easier said than done, and when she discovers the MSL is attending a conference where she is presenting, she cannot hold back her burgeoning hopes. In a Sex In the City meets Toy Story scenario, the Countess lives in an unusual household where her chief confidantes, known as the accessories, are a collection of beloved handbags, a beautiful sheepskin coat and her teddy bear who provide her with support and advice. As the conference gets underway, the Countess tries hard to focus on work, but encouraged by the accessories, she cannot resist the draw of the MSL. The bags might talk but this is no kids book… Tales of the Countess is a highly original chick lit novel by British author Cali Bird, about the need to find happiness in yourself before you get your man. Buy it now for the perfect piece of romantic escapism.
