'Darkly Funny' -CHICAGO TRIBUNE 1997. 'Funny, fetching and full of gorgeous writing' -BRET EASTON ELLIS (American Psycho) 'It Is tempting to dismiss ... spitefully ... a first novel by an apparently B-list celebrity author .... but before one condemns Oxenberg's story of a little rich girl ... Oxenberg creates a languid, ferociously beautiful and barbarous world with an atmosphere reminiscent of ... F. Scott Fitzgerald. It's an awful story in many ways, but one in which a laugh is never far away. ' -THE INDEPENDENT UK 1997 'The immensely entertaining writer Christina Oxenberg' -TATLER 2021
