Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life comes “a hilarious tale . . . hijinks worthy of classic I Love Lucy episodes . . . too good to pass up.” (USA Today) “Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.”—Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover Becky Bloomwood has a fabulous flat in London’s trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the season’s must-haves. The only trouble is, she can’t actually afford it—not any of it. Her job writing at Successful Saving magazine not only bores her to tears, it doesn’t pay much at all. And lately Becky’s been chased by dismal letters from the bank—letters with large red sums she can’t bear to read. She tries cutting back. But none of her efforts succeeds. Her only consolation is to buy herself something . . . just a little something. Finally a story arises that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her life—and the lives of those around her—forever. Praise for Sophie Kinsella and Confessions of a Shopaholic “Kinsella’s Bloomwood is plucky and funny. . . . You won’t have to shop around to find a more winning protagonist.”—People “If a crème brûlée could be transmogrified into a book, it would be Confessions of a Shopaholic.”—The Star-Ledger “A have-your-cake-and-eat-it romp, done with brio and not a syllable of moralizing. . . . Kinsella has a light touch and puckish humor.”—Kirkus Reviews

The blessing of the Kickapoo Indians follows him as a young U.S. Navy intelligence officer serving in the Soviet Union and France during World War II. But the Kickapoo blessing urns into a curse by careless actions of a 4-F guitar-playing bootlegger at Kickapoo Crossing while Bryce Harrington is gone, and destroys virtually the entire family who nurtured him in his youth. But Bryce Harrington is protected by a special talisman given him by his dying Grandma Susie; and, following his return to the U.S. for further education, he learns of the colossal Russian blunder of not recycling precious palladium pellets used in fertilizer production by former Soviet munitions make Azurite Fertilizer Works. He returns there as a businessman and also as an undercover agent for the U.S. Pentagon to learn new secret Soviet methods with codes that were shutting down U.S. surveillance of Russian military operations. Bryce Harrington’s success in this endeavor and subsequently in business, and his resolution of the Kickapoo curse, follow in a thrilling, mysterious conclusion.
