The Improper Life of Dorothy Gray: Beautiful, Expensive and Extremely Discreet

Dorothy Gray has never been particularly interested in behaving properly.She has money, taste, opinions, questionable impulses, an inconvenient relationship with desire-and a remarkable ability to find herself in situations no respectable woman should ever have to explain.Fortunately, Dorothy has stopped explaining.In a world populated by lovers, husbands, children, billionaires, supervillains, plastic surgeons, impossible women, corporate lunatics, angels, devils and the occasional person who really ought to know better, Dorothy moves through life with one essential conviction: If the world insists on being absurd, one might as well be exquisitely dressed for it.At her side-or occasionally watching the catastrophe from a safe distance-is Mordecai, her friend, confidant and intellectual accomplice. Together they dissect love, sex, marriage, ageing, beauty, money, power, death and the peculiar theatre of being human with the kind of conversations that should probably never be overheard.And somewhere between Heaven and Hell, another question begins to emerge.What if the woman everyone keeps trying to save was never asking to be saved?The Improper Life of Dorothy Gray is a darkly comic, provocative literary romp about desire, reinvention and the glorious freedom of becoming increasingly inappropriate with age.No Heaven. No Hell. No apologies.Just Dorothy Gray.
