Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A chilling satire on phoney, manipulative media, the cult of celebrity and its corruptive effects.

Publisher's description:

Susan Mantle is seen crying on a park bench and is taken up by the media as a symbol of the blitz spirit, appearing on the rolling news with the headline 'beautiful but crying'. She is crying, though, for other reasons: she's just been told by a clairvoyant that she is about to die. This book is a satire on the media and the cult of celebrity.
