    Michelle Gable (The Beautiful People) is on the Radar!

    New York Times Bestselling author Michelle Gable joins BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss The Beautiful People, her newest novel! We're transported to the jet-set world of 1960s Palm Beach. We follow two photographers, Margo and the real-life Slim Aarons, as they interact with their ultra-wealthy subjects. The resulting photographs are iconic - were they perhaps a respite from a troubled world? But it's what was going on behind the scenes that fascinates - depression, marriage troubles, the role of women in the business world ... and the effervescent Lilly Pulitzer! We talk a bit about people behaving badly, especially in this isolated corner of American society where there were fewer institutional confines. What a discussion! Join us!
