The Page Turner

De: Viola Shipman

Narrado por: Katharine Chin

“A tasty, dishy inside look at the world of publishing. Readers will be begging for a sequel!”—Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling author of Summers at the Saint

A young romance writer makes a discovery that throws her elitist family into chaos in this sharp, witty and entirely delightful family drama for fans of Elinor Lipman and Jennifer Weiner.

Emma Page grew up the black sheep in a bookish household, raised to believe that fine literature is the only worthy type of fiction. Her parents, self-proclaimed “serious” authors who run their own vanity press, The Mighty Pages, mingle in highbrow social circles that look down on anything too popular or mainstream, while her sister, Jess, is a powerful social media influencer whose stylish reviews can make or break a novel.

Hiding her own romance manuscript from her disapproving parents, Emma finds inspiration at the family cottage among the “fluff” they despise: the juicy summer romances that belonged to her late grandmother. But a chance discovery unearthed from her Gigi’s belongings reveals a secret that has the power to ruin her parents’ business and destroy their reputation in the industry—a secret that has already fallen into the hands of an unscrupulous publishing insider with a grudge to settle. Now Emma must decide—as much as she’s dreamed of the day when her parents are forced to confront their own egos, can she really just sit back and watch The Mighty Pages be exposed and their legacy destroyed?

From the wealthy enclaves of the Hamptons to the sparkling shores of Lake Michigan, The Page Turner is a delectable glimpse inside the world of publishing, and Viola Shipman’s most glittering achievement yet!

Sharp, Sassy, On Point

Viola Shipman’s new novel is a book for book lovers, book publishers and book writers. So much to love in this one, from the sharp funny observations about the book business, the sassy sisters at the center of the story and the on point observations about love, family and literature.

Timeless

I have to say it rocked when the tides got turned on Marcus. I loved all the characters, every single one including Marcus who i really didn't like. His rotten character did what he was supposed to do be rotten but I also felt story for him at times but he turned out the way he turned out by his choice in the end.
I love Emma and how she channels her GiGi and gull reference. so glad she and Jess and ultimately her parents got tree connected.

Good Book!

Interesting and Entertaining! Shipman gave the author a voice and the spotlight! A Page Turner
