A very 21st Century blockbuster, this has all the classic elements - nailbiting narrative, absorbing relationships, glamorous locations - with an extra shot of intelligence . . . Much more than a coming-of-age tale, this creates a glamorous and exciting world that is so contemporary and convincing you'll feel like a special fifth member of their group

COSMOPOLITAN

A big-hearted women's read

DAILY MIRROR

Best described as a sort of Blockbuster Plus - in this case plus a little bit more intelligence and social and political grip than is normal . . . Agreeably glamorous and pageturning

DAILY MAIL

Se alle

This is an absolute treat of a read set in the uber-chic worlds of modelling, politics and international corporations and set against the glamorous backdrops of London, Los Angeles, Johannesburg and Martinique. If this sexy and intelligent debut is anything to go by, Lesley Lokko is set to be a big thing in contemporary lit

DAILY RECORD

Make way Jackie Collins - there's an exciting new writer on the block . . . [<i>Sundowners</i>] has glamour, forbidden love and exotic locations. What more could you ask for?

BELLA

I just wanted to say that AT LAST I have managed to read <i>Sundowners</i> - I went away for 5 days and couldn't put it down. It had a wonderfully international feel to it, with a bit of politics for one's sharper end, and I enjoyed all the characters enormously

- Annabel Giles,

Are you fed up with contemporary commercial fiction? Do you yearn for those '80s sex and shopping blockbusters featuring the super rich bitch? If so, you'll love <i>Sundowners</i> . . . an entertaining read with a dollop of intellect

Take four friends...

Rianne: beautiful, wealthy and thoroughly spoilt, she has the world at her feet but is about to risk everything.

Gabrielle: intelligent, loyal and always worrying about everyone else, now it's time for her to start looking after No.1.

Nathalie: petite, pretty and with a shrewd eye for business, she uses her work to help her forget the one man she can't have.

Charmaine: flirty and outrageous, she knows all about the good life. She just needs someone to pay for it...

Then a chance encounter changes everything - and for Rianne and her friends, nothing is going to be the same again...
