Foreign Friends by Lia Giannakis

from The Authors Show Hosted by The Authors Show

Ashley Hall, a rich preppie from Connecticut works as a book editor at the world's craziest publishing company. Bored and fed up with everything and everyone--especially the sexist moron to whom she is engaged--she's receptive to a mysterious late-night phone call that invites her to live dangerously for a radical cause. Pursued by an oversexed commune, a bespangled lesbian weightlifter, a mysterious Jamaican, and some very nice guerrillas, Ashley is in for more change than she bargained for. One thing leads to another, and all hell--as well as hysterically outrageous comedy!--breaks out. This novel is as funny as it gets, because it's deadly serious about what's wrong with the upper class and conventional mindsets. It's comedy as protest!
