By Helen Fielding
Picador
Price: Rs 910
But Joules is not one to accept defeat. So even while covering fashion in Sudan she imagines a cloud of giant locusts descending on the country and at a face cream launch in Miami she thinks she8217;s spotted plasticsurgery-altered Osama bin Laden.
Her intuition, however, isn8217;t entirely unreliable. And in between looking for romance and scrounging for stories Olivia stumbles upon the biggest scoop of the decade. But her dream of breaking it remains happily unfulfilled8212; as she is recruited by MI6 and launched on the biggest adventure of her life.
Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination is a perfect lazy Sunday read. September 11 has clearly caught up with our self-obsessed heroines. Counting calories, a la Bridget Jones, is out; chasing terrorists with a global reach is in.
