Publisher Description
Confessions of a Wild Child takes you on trip and navigates the teenage years of a wild child who will eventually rule an empire.
Lucky Santangelo is a powerful and charismatic woman. But how did she become the woman she is today? Many people have asked, and in Confessions of a Wild Child we discover the teenage Lucky, and follow her on her trip to discover boys, love and how she fought her father, the infamous Gino Santangelo, to forge her own individual and strong road to success.
Even at fifteen Lucky follows her own path, and it's a crazy ride taking the reader from a strict girls school in Switzerland to an idyllic Greek island, a Bel Air estate, a New York penthouse, and a shuttered villa in the South of France.
Nobody can control Lucky. She knows what she wants and she goes for it with no holds barred.
Lucky at fifteen – a true revelation.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ambitious, cunning Lucky Santangelo, daughter of gangster Gino Santangelo, is one of Jackie Collins's most popular heroines. In this prequel, Collins goes back in time to tell the tale of Lucky's misspent youth as a wild 15-year-old: fooling around with countless boys, getting kicked out of stuffy boarding schools, secretly running off with a friend for a crazy adventure, and ultimately, being forced into an arranged marriage by her father. Narrator Poitier is well cast as Lucky, perfectly capturing the carefree, rebellious, defiant tone of a teen impatient to grow up and unwilling to play by anyone's rules. Poitier also has a lot of fun producing over-the-top character voices, including a strict French schoolmistress and a sassy fashion consultant. Ca ez narrates chapters told from Gino's point of view. His narration is serviceable and straightforward; it works, but Poitier is much more entertaining. A St. Martin's hardcover.
