In this fast-moving novel Glamourati Irina Kova has created a satirical and perceptive picture of contemporary high society. The story follows the romantic journey of a Russian model, Natasha (Tash) Romanov, and an English aristocrat, Ben Spencer, as they struggle to bridge the social divide that separates them while flitting from one jet location to the next. The love story that unfolds is poignant, funny and moving. In the broader canvas of the novel Kova masterfully depicts a latter-day Vanity Fair, a contemporary panorama representing the life of the upper class and those who want to join them. Some are searching for meaning while others are struggling to survive. An interesting group of secondary characters interplay around the central love story as the Tash and Ben try and navigate their feelings for one another amidst misunderstandings and the temptations that lurk under the surface of life in the modern jet set. "It's a love story trying to find its place in a society where values and morals are irreversibly at odds. Interesting character types: old-money aristocrats, nouveaux riches, wannabies, self-made women and oligarchs are at home in this world of fashionable resorts, luxury yachts and fake Rothko paintings."
