Lucky: introduced by Jessie Burton Reissue

Featuring a new, intimate introduction from Jessie Burton talking about what Jackie and her books mean to her! 'Collins was saying that women didn't have to centre round men, either in books or in life. Women could have their own adventures' JESSIE BURTON Lucky Santangelo prowls her Las Vegas casino, restless, ready, eager for action. This night begins her dazzling odyssey from California, to Paris, New York and a private Greek island, to fight for honour, for triumph, for love. She rules her empire her way, on her terms, whatever the odds. She's Lucky... and you'll never forget her. There have been many imitators, but only ever one Jackie Collins. With millions of her books sold around the world, and thirty-one New York Times bestsellers, she is one of the world's top-selling novelists. From glamorous Beverly Hills bedrooms to Hollywood movie studios; from glittering rock concerts to the yachts of billionaires, Jackie chronicled the scandalous lives of the rich, famous, and infamous from the inside looking out. 'A true inspiration, a trail blazer for women's fiction' JILLY COOPER 'Jackie shows us all what being a strong, successful woman means at any age' MILLY JOHNSON 'Jackie will never be forgotten, she'll always inspire me to #BeMoreJackie' JILL MANSELL 'Jackie's heroines don't take off their clothes to please a man, but to please themselves' CLARE MACKINTOSH 'Legend is a word used too lightly for so many undeserving people, but Jackie is the very definition of the word' ALEX KHAN 'What Jackie knew how to do so well, is to tell a thumping good story' ROWAN COLEMAN 'Here is a woman who not only wanted to entertain her readers, but also to teach them something; about the world and about themselves' ISABELLE BROOM 'Lessons galore on every page... about feminism, equality, tolerance and love' CARMEL HARRINGTON 'Jackie is the queen of cliff-hangers' SAMANTHA TONGE 'For all her trademark sass, there is a moralist at work here' LOUISE CANDLISH 'Nobody does it quite like Jackie and nobody ever will' SARRA MANING 'Jackie wrote about Hollywood with total authenticity, breaking all the rules and taboos' BARBARA TAYLOR BRADFORD 'Jackie lived the Hollywood dream, but, she looked sideways at it, and then shared the dirt with her readers' JULIET ASHTON 'What radiates from her novels, is a sense that women are capable of great things' ALEXANDRA HEMINSLEY
