Blonde in the Works

Set in Bogot, Colombia, in 1971, Claire Chesterton, blonde, on the flashy side, and bit overdone, arrives at the Trade Delegation as a typist. She fears that her marriageable time is up, when a makeover results in her unexpectedly having several suitors. This atmospheric and satirical story features a cast of characters including the delegations Number Three, the insidiously charming lush Jeremy Jooning, whose humdrum marriage quickly puts him on to the scent of Claires new-found confidence. Claires fragile hopes for success are quickly dashed by Joonings cruel infidelity when, at last, she finds herself on the brink of true liberation.Parsons, Barbara P. is the author of 'Blonde in the Works', published 2008 under ISBN 9781933480183 and ISBN 1933480181.
