I read this book about 30 years ago and loved it. It may be a pretty easy read, but Suzanne the protagonist is very witty and likeable and the dialogue is packed – packed! – with one-liners and profundities in equal measure.
The setting is Hollywood, and since the writer is Carrie Fisher I suppose it’s all based on reality. What a crazy world that is. Postcards from the Edge is a fun journey, and even if the end is a bit too neat, there are lots of laughs and some thought-provoking insights along the way.
