FICTION
The Starter Wife
by Gigi Levangie Grazer (Simon & Schuster, ISBN 0743265025, $24)
.
Gigi Grazer has made her mark in Hollywood as more than just the wife of one of its biggest moguls. Brian Grazer and his partner, Ron Howard, head up Imagine Entertainment, the folks who brought you A Beautiful Mind. Gigi skewers the "mores - and the morons - of Hollywood" in this sparkling second novel. The premise is that under California law, a spouse who has been married for at least ten years is entitled to major assets in a split. Grazer's heroine quickly finds herself transformed from the less-than-satisfying "Wife of..." to the scorned "Starter Wife" of the title. If you loved the late Olivia Goldsmith's novels of Hollywood, you'll delight in Grazer's insider's take on Tinseltown.
