Book Description
I knew what I was doing - I knew what happened to English gels who went to Australia. They met marvellous men with strong forearms who tipped their hats, saved your life and then took you off to live in a house surrounded by verandahs, on a farm as big as Wales. I could hardly wait.
When London editor Georgia Abbott comes to Sydney to work on Glow, a glossy women's magazine, she has high hopes for a brilliant new start. Leaving behind a broken heart (her own) and a philandering ex-fianci, she's looking forward to immersing herself in the Tim-Tam eating sisterhood of women's mags. Not to mention being whisked off into the dusty Australian sunset by a suntanned, Akubra-hatted fantasy man.
At first, things seem promising, as Georgia is swept up in a whirl of A-list parties, dancing, dinners and debauchery. But while Australian water may go down the plughole the other way, Australian men are starting to look all to familiar.
What do you do when all the blokes you've found are either gay, married, unfaithful, unable or just plain unworthy?

Maggie Alderson was born in London, brought up in Staffordshire and educated at the University of St Andrews. She has worked on nine magazines - editing four of them, including British ELLE - and has been going to fashion shows for 20 years. She is currently a fashion columnist with the Sydney Morning Herald, for which she covers the fashion shows in Milan and Paris twice a year.
Her previous novels, Pants on Fire and Mad About the Boy, were bestsellers in Australia and the UK, and she was a co-editor of the charity anthology Big Night Out, in aid of War Child. She has also published two collections of non-fiction: Shoe Money and Handbag Heaven. She is married and has a daughter and 12 pairs of Prada shoes.
"At last we've found her, the female Seinfeld. Warm, witty, wise and well-dressed, Alderson is the haute couture of humour."
—Kathy Lette
